Display of Chinese characters

Submitted by taituck on Thu, 16/04/2009 - 12:51am

I downloaded the ChiUn (Chinese Union Version Traditional) Bible module and installed it OK. The font I selected was Arial Unicode MS. However, each character is displayed on its side, i.e. rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise from its correct orientation. I will be most grateful if someone can tell me how can I get the characters to be displayed the right way up?

Can you try a different font?

Can you try a different font? Arial Unicode MS has problems with it - I'm not sure why though. (the same problem can be observed with Arial Unicode MS with curly quotation marks)

Chinese fonts

Ben, many thanks.

Not all the fonts are capable of displaying Chinese characters. After trying out different fonts, the Kozuka font family seems to be the one to use as they all display the Chinese characters in their correct orientation. This is different from the @Kozuka family which displays the characters rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise.
