    I've followed the directions of the threads here to install Chinese fonts. Now I can see simplified Chinese. However, when the browser displays traditional Chinese, many characters are missing.

    I would appreciate help on how to install traditional Chinese font..

    If you have a computer with XP, copy arialuni.ttf to the NIT and remove your simplified Chinese font.. It is the only font you will need for almost all languages. And it looks great!

    Thanks. I just downloaded the traditional Chinese from this link

    http://maemocjk.garage.maemo.org/os2008.html

    and tried to install it. I got this msg

    "unable to install maemo-chinese-traditional-support-chinook"

    In my application manager, it says this package has "broken" status.

    Not familiar with Linux. I don't know how to troubleshoot further.

    Help please...

    This was the first thing I did. Took me a while to copy it to /usr/share/fonts directory. After that, I could only read simplified Chinese and not traditional Chinese.

    How do I remove the simplified chinese font?

    cd /usr/share/fonts
    rm arialuni.ttf

    just get a pure tc font like mingliu.ttf, no need to waste space with character sets you can't read anyway. You can also try the FireFly font which is opensource and optimized for embedded systems.

    well,just replace(overwrite) the SC font with a TC font(with the same file name in the same folder).

    Thank you all for the responses. I'm new to Linux and therefore I will appreciate it if you can give me specific instructions such as what program, where to find it, or what commands to execute. Otherwise, I'm lost.

    Download the firefly...tar.gz file on your desktop, extract it and copy the fireflysung.ttf file to your device, i suggest the external memory card so the command below works. Open xterm on the device and type in:

    mkdir ~/.fonts
    mv /media/mmc1/fireflysung.ttf ~/.fonts


    Start the browser, it should support t-chinese now, if not undo any previous experiments with other fonts

    Just an addtion.
    If you are not so familiar with linux command,I would advice that you install "open ssh server" on your NIT,then log into your NIT from your computer with a program named "WinSCP".
    With WinSCP,all the file manage job such as transfer(even between PC and NIT) and copy、move can be done under a explorer like interface.Sooner or later,you will find this program tp be so useful.
