More grief with Chinese characters :(

[Gabriel Dragffy]

Hi, I've been battling on with Breezy hoping that the lack of SKIM and it's 
problem with displaying Chinese would be fixed in Dapper. I'm running dapper 
now and am pleased that at least SKIM is present.

However all chinese webpages and most KDE apps display only half of the 
Chinese characters properly, the other half are replaced by dots. The ones 
that are displayed are the correct characters.

If I bootup into a Knoppix Live CD and do the same thigs the Chinese is 
displayed flawlessly. I looked at the KDE settings for fonts and languages in 
Knoppix and adjusted the settings in Dapper to reflect the Knoppix one but 
this didn't change anything.

Another annoying thing is that the Chinese characters look blurred and unclear 
in Dapper, under Knoppix they are very sharp and clear. I find it difficult 
to convey this problem clearly so I took a screen shot of a Chinese website, 
displayed under Knoppix 4:

And the same page displayed under Dapper:

Under Dapper I even set the default language to Chinese and this altered the 
Konqueror menus and even these don't display properly. At the moment I must 
still reboot in to windows to use Chinese properly, even when I type using 
SKIM most of the characters are missing. What's wrong with Kubuntu 
Breezy/Dapper?

Cheers,
