Not able to see Chinese

[HuaMin]

Hi,
What is the proper way to enable Unicode code like Chinese on the browser, called Epiphany?

I do run this

huamin@:~ % setenv PACKAGEROOT ftp://ftp.freebsdchina.org
huamin@:~ %

But after that, I still cannot see Chinese on browser.

Setting PACKAGEROOT or PACKAGESITE is deprecated. It also won't magically enable localizations, it's just a mirror that has the same packages everybody else uses. Have a look at the handbook Chapter 22. Localization - i18n/L10n Usage and Setup.

 

[HuaMin]

Sorry, why do I get this?

huamin@:~ % pkg_add -r zh-auto-tw-l10n
pkg_add: Command not found.
huamin@:~ %

 

[SirDice]

Because those commands are deprecated and have been removed on FreeBSD 10.0.

Handbook: 5.4. Using pkgng for Binary Package Management

 

[HuaMin]

Thanks a lot. can you please suggest which is the relevant command used to set up Simplified/Traditional Chinese?

Please read chapter 22 of the handbook. If you have trouble reading English the handbook should be available in Chinese too.

I hope this is the correct link for it, I can't read it myself: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/zh_CN.UTF-8/books/handbook/

Hi SirDice,
The main issue is, I had some problem to login as root (to do some adjustments there) when starting the machine, since I did enable GUI to the machine.

anyway, I'm having the problem to switch to su(), within it, like

huamin@:~ % su
su: Sorry

 

[HuaMin]

Hi all,
can you please advise to this problem, with root account?

You can press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and log in directly as root.
Then check if your user belongs to the wheel group in /etc/group. If this is not the case add it at the end of the line. A comma is needed between each user.
Ctr+Alt+F9 should then bring you back to your graphical session.

 

[HuaMin]

Many thanks.

I was using root account when encountering the issue mentioned above, and now I see root is under wheel like

Any other help?

 

[SirDice]

A user account must be a member of the "wheel" group to be allowed to use su(1).

 

[HuaMin]

OK, it is fine now to su login. I checked this url: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg&sektion=7 and do not see the way to set up Unicode or a specific language, from it. Can you please advise?

 

[SirDice]

Some ports may have specific Chinese versions. See the Chinese category. There are no settings in pkg(8) that will install packages in an other language.

 

[HuaMin]

In your list, should I use pkg or any other way to set up Unicode/specific language support to FreeBSD and can I have more details?

Read chapter 22 of the handbook as I already mentioned in the second post.

Here is ~/.login_conf file

me:\
        :charset=big5:\
        :lang=zh_TW.Big5:\
#       :lang=de_DE.ISO8859-1:

and here is the part within /etc/login.conf file

chinese|Chinese Users Accounts:\
        :charset=big5:\
        :lang=zh_TW.Big5:\
        :tc=default:

But I still do not see the Chinese within the browser.

Did you install any Chinese fonts? I use x11-fonts/droid-fonts-ttf for CJK fonts.

 

[HuaMin]

Can you please show with more details to set up Chinese on FreeBSD? Thanks a lot.

Can you please show with more details to set up Chinese on FreeBSD? Thanks a lot.

1. select chinese locale for each user. Simply chinese user chose zh_CN.UTF-8 and traditional chinese user chose zh_TW.UTF-8
2. Install Xorg
3. Install Chinese Fonts e.g. chinese/arphittf, x11-fonts/droid-fonts-ttf, x11-fonts/wqy
4. (Optional) install desktop environment which supports Chinese locale e.g. Xfce, Mate, Gnome, KDE
5. Install browser e.g. www/firefox and change fonts setting for Chinese web page with installed Chinese fonts.

 

[HuaMin]

Thanks.
I've done these

cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
make install clean
pkg install xorg

Within the machine. What is the command to install these below?

chinese/arphittf, x11-fonts/droid-fonts-ttf, x11-fonts/wqy

 

[SirDice]

I've done these

cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
make install clean
pkg install xorg

Great, now you installed it twice. The first install used the port and the second install used the package.

What is the command to install these below?

chinese/arphittf, x11-fonts/droid-fonts-ttf, x11-fonts/wqy

I really, really urge you to read the handbook.
