Below is a summary of the instructions on how to add Chinese fonts in Nokia 770, 2006OS. It's original hower's comment based on my previous post "How to add a new locale to Nokia 770". There are also two related threads on "internet tablet Talk" forum.
And a post on oafbot 's site, ノキア７７０:日本語表示可能
1. Find a copy of Truetype Chinese font. Fonts, simsun.ttf and simhei.ttf do not seem work in opera.
Font fireflysung.ttf (link: http://www.study-area.org/apt/firefly-font/ ) works.
2. Run x-terminal
3. Execute command sudo gainroot to enable root access privilege.
4. Copy fireflysung.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/fireflysung.ttf
5. Execute command fc-cache –f to rebuild system font cache information.
6. Exit from x-terminal.
7. Reboot the device
8. Now opera and all applications should be able to display Chinese font
correctly.
In order to have the theme display Chinese font on the title bar correctly additional steps as described below are needed
(http://guoyong.org/2006/08/11/248):
1. Run x-terminal
2. Execute command sudo gainroot to enable root access privilege.
3. Locate the theme type you selected. For example:
Deck-top
theme color file
Theme1 orange /usr/share/themes/default/matchbox/theme.xml
Theme2 light blue /usr/share/themes/theme1/matchbox/theme.xml
Theme3 dark blue /usr/share/themes/theme2/matchbox/theme.xml
Theme4 gray /usr/share/themes/theme3/matchbox/theme.xml
4. Change to directory where the theme you used is located. For example:
cd /usr/share/themes/default/matchbox/
5. Make a backup copy
cp –i theme.xml theme.xml.original
6. Copy theme.xml to mmc card
cp -i theme.xml /media/mmc1/theme.xml
7. Execute command fc-list to find the exact font name you installed for use later.
8. Open file theme.xml that is located in mmc card with Notes program
(comes with 2006os).
9. Find the line that defines the font as shown below:
10. Add the new font name and font size to it. Separate the fonts with |
The modified line is as shown below:
11. Save it.
12. Copy the modified theme.xml back to its original directory and overwrite it.
cp -i /media/mmc1/theme.xml \
/usr/share/themes/default/matchbox/theme.xml
13. Exit from x-terminal.
14. Reboot the device.
15. The device is good to go.
Wolfg, I just wanted to thank the work you've put into investigating this issue. Thanks to your summary for installing Chinese localization and fonts, I've been able to read Japanese on my 770 by following the same proccess. I've gotten positive feedback on my Japanese instructions, so I know there are (at least a few) 770 users in Japan that are appreciative of your findings. keep up the good work :-)
Now you can simply install the deb packages I made. :)
Download them form http://guoyong.org/2006/11/08/286
Hi!!
I just new user of n800 and I tried to install Korean Lnaguage pack.
I installed CJK file but it just worked for input Korean.
So, I tried to step what you already posting at internettablettalk.
I installed X-term, copy some font files to my mmc1.
but I couldn't Copy some fonts to /usr/share/fonts/
when I typed "cp media/mmc1/ usr/share/fonts/" i just could see "EXISTS"..
and I can't use MDIR.- "permission denied"
....how can I copy these fonts files to usr/share/fonts/ ?
I had never studied LINUX..so I don't have any Idea about it..
Thank you
June
I have been following the eight-step instructions to install Chinese fonts on my Nokia 770. I have installed x-terminal and now I am trying to find the fireflysung.ttf font at http://www.study-area.org/apt/firefly-font/. However all I can find are .gz files. Can someone give me some guidance as to how to convert them to .ttf files? I am hoping to install Traditional Chinese fonts. Can you tell me which .gz files contain them?
