Please,

I am studying Chinese and I need to install fonts to type ideograms
in Debian 9.

I use Brazilian Portuguese, but I don't want to reconfigure my
computer to type only in Chinese.

Using LibreOffice or with a specific program to generate the
ideograms only when needed.

Any tip?

Thank you,

If Chinese cannot be displayed normally on your computer, you may need
a font. But with your description, you might just need an input
method?

For fonts, I recommend WenQuanYi(文泉驿), it is a very good open
source Chinese font. Just use the command to install it (actually, it is
a set of fonts with different styles, you can choose to install
according to your needs):

apt install fonts-wqy-microhei
apt install fonts-wqy-zenhei

If what you actually need is an input method, I think ibus may be a good
choice, you can configure Chinese input through its GUI.
I actually use the ibus-rime(a rime input method engine encapsulated
using the ibus framework), but it may require more manual configuration
and is not suitable for beginners of a language.


Hi Ming,


That's right, I think I need to choose an "input method".

I'm gradually understanding what I need.


I found a tutorial that explains what the input methods are.

From what I've seen the most popular method is "pinyin".

I installed:

apt-get install fonts-arphic-bkai00mp
apt-get install fonts-arphic-bsmi00lp
apt-get install fonts-arphic-gbsn00lp
apt-get install fonts-arphic-gkai00mp
apt-get install fonts-arphic-ukai
apt-get install fonts-arphic-uming

and

apt-get install ibus-pinyin

Please, what I should do now?

Thank you,
Markos
