I guess, You can find some font tools to extract ttf from ttc, or install another Chinese font provided by your operation system. or just download the ttf version from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ttf-wqy-zenhei (directly: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/ttf-wqy-zenhei/ttf-wqy-zenhei_0.5.23.orig.tar.gz) I don't know font enough, so I didn't test the first method. I only test the last method. after download the font into my Window machine. it can display Chinese with "'WenQuanYi Zen Hei'" and save figure to png and pdf.(ps, eps doesn't work, even without a error log"). (my Linux machine(Ubuntu Hardy 8.04) can display Chinese and save figure to png, pdf, ps, eps correctly already.) > > regards, > > benoit > > > Quoting Benoit Gaillard <benoit.gaill...@univ-tlse2.fr>: > >> Hi, >> >> When looking in my fontFile.cache, i did not find any of >> '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/wqy/wqy-zenhei.ttf', >> '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/wqy/wqy-microhei.ttf' or simhei. this is why >> i could not display the characters. >> >> I deleted the cache and re-lounched my script, so that mpl had to look >> for the fonts and update the cache.
