- This is what I see: "Olivia Chow(鄒至蕙) is a..." I'm using Netscape 7.1. Often, if a page has Chinese text, you'll be advised (at least by Netscape), to download the necessary character set. Not in this case, though. Krupo 05:44, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)
- If you use Windows, I think the easiest way to get it is to install Microsoft's Input Method Editor (IME) for the appropriate language. See [1] (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/recommended/ime/default.mspx) for more info. You could also try downloading the appropriate font. I believe there are some free Chinese fonts floating around out there called Sim Sun, MS Song, etc. Arial Unicode MS contains the characters for many different lanaguages and is distributed with lots of Microsoft software.
A good place to get more info on fonts, Unicode, etc. is http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/index.html. <p> You can also try playing around with the languages dialog in Windows' control panel. In Windows XP, there is a dialog in the control panel called "Regional and Language Options", with a checkbox labelled "Install files for East Asian languages". -spencer195 01:22, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
