>>no need to waste space with character sets you can't read anyway<<

True. But if you also read Japanese (I do), then arialuni is the most elegant solution. For some reason Chinese and Japanese fonts do not play nice to each other. When I was still using n770, I found only one combination that would work, and even then the Japanese looked funny.

If you are not so familiar with linux command,I would advice that you install "open ssh server" on your NIT,then log into your NIT from your computer with a program named "WinSCP".
With WinSCP,all the file manage job such as transfer(even between PC and NIT) and copy、move can be done under a explorer like interface.Sooner or later,you will find this program tp be so useful.

WinSCP sounds great. I installed ssh server in tablet and WinSCP in PC. But I need your help.. Where do I obtain host name, user name, password and keyfile? These are what WinSCP asks.

mkdir ~/.fonts
mv /media/mmc1/fireflysung.ttf ~/.fonts


Start the browser, it should support t-chinese now, if not undo any previous experiments with other fonts

I've uninstalled all the font packages I installed with success or without success. I've deleted the arialuni.ttf from /usr/share/fonts. Now it only has fireflysung.ttf, based on your instruction. Now the webpage with traditional Chinese don't display much of anything, while it could display about 50% of characters.

I hope linux can be a little easier for newbies...

The host name is just the ip address of your NIT which can be easily found with the connection manager.The user name is “root”.When the open ssh server is installed on your NIT,it will ask you to change the password for “root”,that’s also the password for WinSCP.key file?In fact,that's not a requirement for winscp.

Thanks, now I have winSCP up and running. It's great that I can manipulate files using my laptop now.
