Set up Chinese locale

Select Install Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and English display support, installation complete, start KDE, in its control center "look&&feel" select "China", encoded as zh_cn.gb2312.1980. Reboot, this time KDE can already show the coarse Chinese. Select Locale Chooser ZH_CN directly in Gnome's system.

Installation of Chinese fonts

1, first disable the XFS server.

Run the Setup command to abort the feature that XFS is running with the system in the service item. The reason for disabling XFS servers is that XFS automatically updates the Fonts.dir files in the font directory, which affects the changes we make.

2, copy the selected font to the relevant directory.

Generally choose Simsun.ttf as the basic font (it is said that the font is the most exquisite Chinese font). Copy these fonts to/usr/share/fonts/default/truetype and generate Fonts.dir and Fonts.scale files.

Run under the same font directory: Ttmkfdir > Fonts.dir. Edit the Fonts.dir file to add two lines under simsun.ttf-misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0:

simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0
-p-0-gb2312.1980-0
simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0
-p-0-gbk-0

Also note that the number of the first row of the file changes accordingly, and then copy Fonts.dir to Fonts.scale.

3. Set the font path and load the server

Edit the/etc/x11/xf86config-4 file (#表示注释行).

Section "Files"
# FontPath "unix/:7100"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType"
EndSection
Section "Module"
……
Load "xtt"
……
EndSection

Reboot and set the font to SimSun in the control center. OK, that's it.
