none that i know of. if you have a true type font, you can put it into /usr/share/fonts and use fc-cache command to refresh the font cache.

You might also consider asking the maemocjk project to include thai support.

I have installed the maemo cjk and loved it. One question though, where can I find the common symbols, - colon, at, pipe, question mark etc. ? I found some but not all under ja pad - dot however they look like 2 byte characters so I guess they won t work for password...
Just can t figure out...

Henry,

Could you please post a step by step for the 770 ?

Thanks for your help,

Ron

To install on the 770, one needs to download and extract the package, become root to copy the ttf font to /usr/share/fonts, issue fc-cache -fv to refresh the font cache and finally to a reboot.

Please let me know if anyone needs more detailed instructions

First of all, for this to work, you need xterm and know how to become root. (see http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowTo_EASILY_BecomeRoot) Also, to save internal flash memory, the font will be placed on the memory card.

Here are the steps:
  1. Download the true type font from maemocjk's subversion repository:
    • use browser to go to https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scm...?root=maemocjk
    • select ttf-arphic-ukai-0.1.20060513-maemo/ (versioen number might
      change)
    • select ukai.ttf
    • select to download.
    • save font to memory card. For example in the subdirectory fonts. (Below I assume that ukai.ttf is downloaded to /media/mmc1/fonts/)
  2. start xterm and become root
  3. type:
    Code:
    cd /usr/share/fonts
ln -s /media/mmc1/fonts/ukai.ttf .
fc-cache -fv
  4. wait for fc-cache to finish
  5. reboot device

Or install an alternative font ttf-firefly. Download it from http://guoyong.org/?dl=ttf-firefly-1.3.0.deb
or use this repository
Web address: http://maemo.guoyong.org/
Distribution: mistral
Components: user
Applications: ttf-firefly themes-zh-14pt

I think I've read every post possible, or maybe I'm just too new to this, and not really understanding how it works. But I've installed every possible file I could install for this Chinese Support Input Method. Ｉjust don't understand, why the original keyboard disappears after I install the CJK Input method from http://maemocjk.garage.maemo.org/os2008.html for N800 on OS2008. If there's now keyboard, then there's no kind "typing" possible at all, correct?

It sounds as if this works for some people, and doesn't work for other people? Is that the case? Does this Chinese Input method work for anybody out there? Maybe I'm missing a step that I'm not doing, but I've basically followed all the steps from http://maemocjk.garage.maemo.org/os2008.html.

Please help! I'm desperate! I've re-flashed my Nokia N800 few too many times already! (Because it won't let me un-install the chinese input files as well >_<) Or that I just really don't know how, and I consider myself a pretty savvy PC user (strictly Windows that is, first time Linux user).

If you have OS2008 on your N800 and don't care much about input, then you will get the best Chinese browsing experience by copying arialuni.ttf from your XP computer to /usr/share/fonts/.

Well, that's the thing I, in fact, would like to INPUT Chinese. I don't have any problems VIEWING Chinese at this moment.
