Read chinese problem
 

I have a problem to read chinese character on linux , the problem is :
we export a file (there are chinese characters inside) from the database to the shell , but we found that we can't read the chinese characters ( all become unreadable words) , maybe it is caused by the linux language setting , could suggest how can I read chinese on the linux shell ? thx.

You should take a look at this thread. There's a lot of info about reading/writing Chinese in it.

Also, have you heard of Red Flag Linux? It's a distro of Linux entirely in Chinese. If you have an old computer laying around, install that and see if it does what you need.

Hope this helps,

where can I download the linux fonts ? thx

Have you installed apt-get? You can just type apt-get install xcin so that you can read Chinese in Linux.
