How to read Chinese in Gentoo??

yalag

How do you read tranditional chinese in Gentoo? Can someone post the detailed steps?
This is what I have done so far

1) I have emerged zh-kcfonts arphicfonts twmoefonts.

2) export LANG=zh_TW.Big5

3) mount -o iocharset=cp950 /dev/<windows parition> /mnt/windows

4) Open applications ( icq, xmms, etc) to read the files

But some of the applications work and some does not, am I missing the ming fonts? Am I missing some steps? How do you do it?

Thanks!

(need zh.TW fonts , modify the XF86Config file...)

.....

How should I change the XF86Config file? You can write chinese to answer, I can read.

I think I am missing some fonts, which fonts do I need to read tranditional chinese?

My browser (Konqueror) can read simplfied chinese 100%, but only 70-80% tranditional chinese, is it missing fonts?

看来是你的字体不支持繁体中文，系统里有没有繁体的字体呢？添加字体有两种，一种是xtt字体，加到/etc/X11/XF86Config(或-4)，例如：
Section "Files"
        RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
        ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
EndSection

一种是xft字体，添加到/etc/fonts/fonts.conf,例如：
<!-- Font directory list configured on Tue May 13 21:46:53 HKT 2003 -->

        <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<!--    <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> -->
        <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

tram, can you explain why there two type of fonts?
also, how do I install fonts? Let's say I download some *.ttf, how do I install?

Will installing more fonts in linux helps read chinese better?

Thanks!
