I have always found fonts in UNIX/Linux a complete mystery. I am dealing now with two installations of SuSE 8.1 done in Japanese where:
both systems have access to the Mincho font, but one system always scrunches up the text (characters overlay each other) while the other it is perfect.
one system has two extra Japanese fonts (唐風ゴシック and 唐風something else I can't remember), but the other system does not have it and it does not matter how many font related things I try to install... even installation the same product mix (eg. OpenOffice 1.0.1 and StarOffice 6.0) I can't get these two fonts to appear.
Fonts and foreign languages is quite difficult. Please, any advice that points me in the right direction with regards beginning to attack this would be appreciated. Perhaps the fresh approach that mine would be might uncover something?
