http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I update system today . Just before , everything is normal. Once it finished , I found that my KDE can't display some characters . I am a Chinese user. The English words are normal,. Just some Chinese characters can't be displayed . When I refreshed the browser , they can be displayed again but some of them are font default and some of them are font Yahei. And they are displayed messed together . It is not pretty. AND it is not only in browser , anywhere displayed Chinese characters looks the same as browser. So could someone tell me how to change them back to default font as one font not two types of font messed together? Attached Images snapshot.jpg (90.7 KB) (HowTos)

Font Configuration 39 weeks 2 days ago

Looking for some assistance on font configuration with Asian fonts, specifically, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I have installed 1 or 2 TTF fonts for each respective language. However, for instance, Chinese is not displaying with the same font across.

Hi peeps and thanks for reading. Brilliant responses to my last post and thanks for being so welcoming .... My question is one i cant find any solid reference on .

I noticed that every page I visit from Opera except this archlinux website has this horrible monospaced font displayed. I went to the font settings in Opera and switched defaults to sans serif fonts but still this monospaced font is everywhere. I checked author mode and user mode and each mode displays the same font.

Best chinese characters font 36 weeks 5 days ago

OK then: before you do anything else, please take a look at your /etc/fonts/conf.avail and /etc/fonts/conf.d. This is where the font engine is actually tuned. The file 65-nonlatin.conf is the one when you can set priority of your non-latin fonts for a certain language.

Java Swing Font Display Problem 23 weeks 17 hours ago

Hello, I have a java application that originally runs in Windows, and the UI doesn't have any problem in displaying Chinese and Japanese. But now on Fedora, in a JPanel, I can't type Chinese or Japanese (broken characters).

Then, I tried JTextPane.setFont(...) for a Chinese font, it displays correctly.

I'm using IBus for pinyin in 11.10. A previous AskUbuntu poster mentioned that s/he increased font size to 14 point in Preferences.

This problem keeps coming back, no matter how many times I've killed it. I am seeing undesired versions of Japanese characters in my interface. (Particularly in Firefox, if that makes a difference).

For example, when looking at the word 七福神, it looks to me like this:

However, the characters should look like this (taken from another computer):

The difference is on characters two and three.
