every knows, that in linux o.s. , the chinese charators can't be displayed very correctly.

now i show a method that how to install the font file in the linux.

first, copy the font step to /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType/
second, with "su" command, run as root
third, ttmkfdir -d /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType/ -o /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType/fonts.scale

and now, you can see the new font in the font list, and you can change the system font.

i use the "simsun" to display the chinese charactors and "tahoma" to the english.

but the forum refuse the attach file which size is larger than 5000kb,

so i just upload these font file, but you can find them in windows operation system or other places.

ps: maybe you will found that the path is "/usr/share/fonts/chinese/TrueType/" in your o.s.
