Please help!
I have just upgraded from RH9 to Fedora. However,
I have a problem using Simplified Chinese (Traditional
Chinese works fine). When at the login prompt I
choose languages, the script next to the simplified
Chinese option does not display Chinese, but little
squares of hex code. (Thai is the same way.) When I
choose simplified Chinese and log in, Linux will not
load, and the following message pops up:
Your session only lasted 10 seconds....this could
mean there is some installation problem....
[ellipses represent text deleted by me]
The option is presented to view file ~/.xsession-errors,
which contains:
0mXftFontOpen(): Failed:
(and then, in Chinese: "file or directory doesn't exist")
Following charsets:
0: -Sony-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-ISO8859-1

....
** (gnome-session:5681): WARNING **: Cannot open font file for font
ZYSong 18030 10
** (gnome-session:5681): WARNING **: Cannot open fallback font, nothing
to do
What can I do to fix this problem?
By the way, no such problem existed in my RH9 installation. I'm aware
that RH9 used zh_CN.gb18030, while Fedora uses zh_CN.UTF-8, I think.
Thanks very much!
