Garbage Code in JAVA CJK Environment on Arch Linux

1. create /opt/java/jre/lib/fonts/fallback directory

2. make symbolic link for font

ln -s /usr/share/fonts/TTF/fontfile /opt/java/jre/lib/fonts/fallback/

if Wen Quan Yi, the full path is /usr/share/fonts/wenquanyi/wqy-zenhei/wqy-zenhei.ttc

Make chinese display support module on Slax

1. create directories which match to system path

mkdir -p etc/rc.d
mkdir -p usr/share/fonts/TTF

2. download chinese font, fireflysung.ttf for open-source platform then put it into usr/share/fonts/TTF

3. create a script which can be run while booting

vi etc/rc.d/rc.local

fc-cache -f -v
cd /usr/share/fonts/TTF
mkfontscale
cp fonts.scale fonts.dir

4. pack them all to a lzm module

dir2lzm ./ filename.lzm

5. move the module to /slax/modules of your native partition for automatic activation

Fonts of wine disappear on CentOS

Install Microsoft's TrueType core fonts

1. Make sure you have the following rpm-packages installed
# rpm-build
# wget
# ttmkfdir
# cabextract

2. Set up an rpm build environment in your home directory by adding the line %_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild to your $HOME/.rpmmacros and create the directories $HOME/rpmbuild/BUILD and $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch

3.
# Build the binary rpm
rpmbuild -bb msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
# Install the newly built rpm (you will need to be root):
rpm -ivh $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
# Reload the X font server
/sbin/service xfs reload
