I recently loaded Redhat 9 and I really enjoy the nice anti-aliased fonts in Mozilla, but was disappointed to find that I cannot visit Chinese web pages. When I view a site like cn.yahoo.com, instead of Chinese characters, I see lots of boxes with numbers inside.

To fix this, I downloaded Mozilla from mozilla.org and used that instead of the one that came with Redhat. To my delight, Chinese characters displayed, but I no longer had the nice anti-aliased fonts.

Surely there must be a way to be able to read Chinese web pages without settling for the harsh fonts of yesteryear. Has anyone been able to get Chinese fonts to display in the version of Mozilla that ships with Redhat 9?

i'd get a src package, then you can compile with both anti-aliased fonts and chinese support built in. I'm sure Mozilla docs will cover this, so it shouldn't be too hard.

getting the src seems an overkill. Check if your mozilla chooses the right encoding (under view->character coding). Also, check the settings for Fonts in the preferences. You can choose the fonts for various encodings (western, unicode, chinese, etc.) and under chinese it has to be to a chinese fontset. Finally, it might help to install the chinese language pack for mozilla (if there is one). You can go to the download site from the mozilla preferences panel. Hope this helps

yeah you're right. Total overkill . I think i should stop answering red hat questions.
