英文版ubuntu的中文(输入法)设置

Chinese language support in ubuntu

what I have done For ubuntu 8.04:

1 .system->administration->language support: chinese
2.install fonts: here and hear for install new fonts,

I have ONLY do these steps:

copy the font from a windows system to /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/

sudo mkfontscale
sudo mkfontdir
sudo fc-cache

3.setup locale: 英语环境下怎样开启fcitx?
首先

代码:

sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8

and I have done something extra:
sudo locale-gen zh_CN.GBK

然后打开/etc/environment，加入一行：

代码:

LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8

，重启X，按Ctrl+空格键即可.

then the fonts are installed properly

4. sudo apt-get install fcitx
5. im-switch -s fcitx

now fcitx could be invoked, but the interface of fcitx in weired charecters(乱码)

6. fix the problem, according to 解决 fcitx 状态条中汉字显示为方框

change the second line of ~/.fctix to :
ÏÔÊŸ×ÖÌå(ÖÐ)=stsong
ÏÔÊŸ×ÖÌå(Ó¢)=Courier New

7. locale in theory:
