I heard after I install debian, it could display Chinese information normally without any further work, but I have trouble to see all the Chinese characters.

So I googled and installed Chinese fonts, use dpkg-reconfigure locales to add Chinese support, but none of them work.

Here is my setup

# locale

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


#locale -a
C
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
POSIX
zh_CN
zh_CN.gb18030
zh_CN.gb2312
zh_CN.gbk
zh_CN.utf8
zh_TW
zh_TW.big5
zh_TW.euctw
zh_TW.utf8

Hope I can fix this problem. Thanks a lot.

IIRC, on Debian 6, I installed all the following to get proper display of Chinese characters:

• ttf-arphic-bkai00mp
• ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp
• ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp
• ttf-arphic-gkai00mp
• ttf-arphic-ukai
• ttf-arphic-uming
