Re: Display of Chinese TTF Fonts
By default, the small font size looks rather bad. I don't know which ttf font
you are using. If you are using simsun, mingliu, you can set the anti-alias
false for the size between 10~16. They have bitmap font embeded.
The best solution maybe install the patches by firefly for fontconfig,
freetype and xft. It can output the chinese font name and has many other
features.
