Viewing Simplified Chinese on this site
If this isn't the word Chinese: δΈζ, in Chinese then your computer probably doesn't have a Chinese Unicode font installed and you will have problems reading Simplified Chinese text on this site.Following are instructions for getting Chinese Unicode to display properly on various computer operating systems.
Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Office 2000 and Microsoft Office XP
If you have a copy of Microsoft Office 2000 or Microsoft Office XP, or Microsoft Publisher 2002, and Chinese is not displaying properly then you can install the Arial Unicode MS font which is distributed by Microsoft with these products.
If you are unsure how to install Arial Unicode MS from CD then follow these instructions for installing Arial Unicode MS.
Alternatively, please consult the Microsoft Help and Support website β try searching for "Arial Unicode".
Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 are not distributed with Arial Unicode MS so you will need to install an alternative Chinese font.
'AR KaitiM' is a free font that will display Chinese Unicode text. It can be downloaded here (note that this file is a 5.73Mb download): Contact a Family provides this font free of chrage but is not responsible for it. If you have any questions you should refer them to http://www.arphic.com.tw/usa/home.html
Note: Microsoft no longer supports Windows 98, 98SE, ME and NT 4.0You should read the license for the AR KaitiM font.
To install the font, use the font utility in the Control Panel. There are more detailed instructions on our installing fonts page. Alternatively, simply copy the .ttf file into your Windows \fonts directory.
Upgrading Internet Explorer
If you have installed the font and it is still not displaying properly this might be because you have an old version of Internet Explorer, if you are using a version older than version 5.5 then you will need to update it. To find out which version you are using select Help, About Internet Explorer.
The easiest way to upgrade is to use the Windows Update icon in your start menu, alternatively you could go straight to the Windows Update Website or you could go straight to the Internet Explorer Downloads Web site.
Adding Chinese Text Display Support
One thing to check when installing Internet Explorer 6 is the option for Chinese Text Display Support Support and Language Auto-Selection.
If you already have Internet Explorer 6 installed and you are not sure if you installed Chinese Text Display Support then you can use the Add/Remove Programes icon in the Control Panel to add it β select Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, click Add/Remove, click Add a Component and select Chinese Text Display Support and Language Auto-Selection.
Mozilla Firefox under Windows
You don't need to modify Mozilla Firefox configuration or download a plugin to display webpages or emails written in Chinese but you will need to ensure that Windows can display Chinese text using the guides above.
