I have not installed Simplified Chinese locale in my system. I was hoping I don't have to do that to be able to read pages in Chinese.
When I access a page in Simplified Chinese using Internet explorer on Windows, it detects the missing fonts and loads them automatically. Wonder why Firefox cannot do the same. I know, this question should be directed at Firefox developers instead. I'm willing to manually install the fonts if I know how. BTW, setting the fonts in Firefox per your instruction does not help. Anyways, I can still use my Window machine to read Chinese. :-( Thanks for your help! -Kin-man Fu, Ning wrote: > Hi, Kin-man: > > If you have Simplified Chinese support installed, please login to > Simplified Chinese locale(from the login screen click "Language") to see > if the page can be displayed correctly.
