Can't Display Chinese fonts

Postby wathkao » Wed Jun 28, 2017 3:47 am

I had tried the recent Refract8.3 distro. But all the chinese fonts are display in a rectangle with ASCII in it.(See the picture attached below).

I guess all the chinese fonts has been removed from this distro.
How can I fix it? Thanks

I think this will work.

Code: Select all
$ sudo apt install --install-recommends task-chinese task-chinese-desktop
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Looks like the packages are not where to find.

I guess there are more choices than I thought. You also might want to install gcin to input Chinese characters.
Code: Select all
$ apt-cache search task-chinese
task-chinese-s - Simplified Chinese environment
task-chinese-s-desktop - Simplified Chinese desktop
task-chinese-s-kde-desktop - Simplified Chinese KDE desktop
task-chinese-t - Traditional Chinese environment
task-chinese-t-desktop - Traditional Chinese desktop
task-chinese-t-kde-desktop - Traditional Chinese KDE desktop
