Now using the system is Linux Mint 18, installed Wesnoth, found to open after some Chinese display normal, some Chinese display as garbled.
Google has a lot of ways to give only a few instructions, but not universal, I provide a new way, by modifying the configuration file to solve the garbled problem.
The steps are as follows:1. List all fonts
Fc-list:lang=zh
Use the instructions to list all Chinese fonts, find the appropriate font based on the output, and copy.
2. Copying font files
Copy the font file to the directory
/usr/share/games/wesnoth/1.12/fonts
3. Change the font configuration file
To open a file with root privileges
/usr/share/games/wesnoth/1.12/data/hardwired/fonts.cfg
Modify the first item of order, the first item of Family_order, and the replaced font to your font
I chose the WQY-MICROHEI.TTC font.
Order modified to "Wqy-microhei.ttc,andagii.ttf ...
Family_order modified to "Wqy-microhei
Replaced Font (original first [font]) modified to [font] name= "WQY-MICROHEI.TTC"
4. Enjoy the game now!
