That is not the issue. The problem is in KDE applications such as konsole. According to a previous message from Jens this should not be a problem since KDE and GNOME use the same fonts..... Well....I tried again with konsole and gnome-terminal. This is when logging in with a LANG=en_US.UTF-8. When entering Simplified Chinese gnome-terminal will have the following font files open: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 /usr/share/fonts/chinese/TrueType/uming.ttf /usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType/sazanami-gothic.ttf /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l047013t.pfa /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l048013t.pfa /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf /home/egreshko/.rh-fontconfig/.fonts.cache-2 /home/egreshko/.rh-fontconfig/.fonts.cache-2 While konsole has the following open: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb /usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType/sazanami-gothic.ttf /usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts/console9x15.pcf /usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts/console8x16.pcf /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l047013t.pfa /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l048013t.pfa /home/egreshko/.rh-fontconfig/.fonts.cache-2 (path inode=917547) /home/egreshko/.rh-fontconfig/.fonts.cache-2 However, if I select my Language as Mainland Chinese prior to login then my LANG variable would be set to zh_CN.UTF-8. Low and behold, knosole now has the /usr/share/fonts/chinese/TrueType/uming.ttf font file open and I can enter/display that character just fine.
