> It is unable to display Chinese characters.

You have to add a couple of modules in order to display Chinese character correctly: le libXft extension for xorg and and actual se of fonts. I have generated libXft-2.1.12.lzm and ttf-arphic-uming-0.1.20060928.lzm some time ago (for version 6.0.6).

I've put them here: http://people.sissa.it/paulatto/007-libXft-2.1.12.lzm http://people.sissa.it/paulatto/107-ttf-arphic-uming-0.1.20060928.lzm

they are "dirty" modules, e.g. they don't have the build scripts and other slacky stuff.

Chinese characters garbled 

Xft + ttf fonts, Ha, at last I found a decent (modern) solution for viewing Chinese fonts.

FYI, from http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/x/fonts/xf18-XorgFontsGeneral/ar01s04.html#additional_fonts Chinese users (nowadays) prefer the Firefly New Sung font. http://cle.linux.org.tw/fonts/FireFly, covers Chinese, has embedded bitmaps for small font sizes. … Due to the embedded bitmaps, fonts stay clear even at 9pt (Arphic fonts are unacceptably blurry at this size).

Would you care to build that one also? If OK, please grab the

fireflysung-1.3.0.tar.gz 27-Mar-2005 21:08 6.8M

file, in case you can't make out what it was saying on that page.

Thanks a lot!
