PostPosted: Fri Jan 03, 2003 6:32 am    Post subject: Help! newbie chinese gentoo user Reply with quote

I just installed gentoo on my laptop. Mozilla can't display chinese. I installed gentoo before on one of my desktops and chinese worked fine. But I totally forgot what did I do. And the bad thing is I know nothing about font, i18n stuff. The only way I can use chinese is through cxterm.

How can I install chinese fonts for x, or just for mozilla. Can I use the fonts that come with cxterm? How to use those fonts?

Thanks a lot.

I am not Chinese, so I'm not sure if this works, but I saw on http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml a cjk USE-flag. On http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/use-howto.xml you see how to use this USE-flag. I think you need to recompile the packages to activate this USE-flag.

Yes, I do use "CJK" flag. But I guess that's for some applications. It has nothing to do with font and localization.

Yes. I have that character coding, but it's just there's no font available for chinese.

Also, to get Chinese input,

emerge glibc with USE="cjk nls" added to make.conf... That way you'll get locale.

I believe it does. I got both GB and BIG5 Chinese display after installing that package.

"emerge arphicfonts" then type "fc-cache -f -v", then your mozilla should be able to display chinese fonts, both for GB2312 and Big5.
