Hi- I have just attempted adding another TrueType Chinese font to my system--I'm not sure if I've done this correctly (lots of different ways to do it from Google, Fedora Release Notes and RH9 reference guide). I relied largely on the Fedora release notes and did: For new Fontconfig font subsystem: copied TrueType font to /usr/local/share/fonts/TrueType/zh_CN fc-cache /usr/local/share/fonts/TrueType/zh_CN For old core X font subsystem: mkdir /usr/share/fonts/local/ copied TrueType font to /usr/share/fonts/local/ ttmkfdir -d /usr/share/fonts/local/ -o /usr/share/fonts/local/fonts.scale mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/local/ chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/local/ 1) If there is a better way of doing this, please tell me. At least one bad aspect of doing things this way is that there are now 2 copies of an extremely large font file. I don't know if it would be wise to have used the zh_CN directory or the local directory for both subsystems. 2) How can I change the default font of a locale? The 'font preferences' dialog when I start in the simplified Chinese locale does not have a Chinese font by default. 3) Can add another choice to the 'languages' option at the login prompt? Currently, simplified Chinese uses zh_CN.utf8, but I'd like to add other options for starting up in zh_CN.gb18030 or zh_CN.gbk. Thanks, John
