what's i did wrong I spend 1 week still cannot make vietnamese font work on n800I I like to read vnexpress.net and tuoitre.com.vn
please help my email hkpvth@gmail.com

Here's your problem:
cp /media/mmc1/arialuni.ttf /home/user/.fonts
needs to have a backslash on the end, i.e.,
cp /media/mmc1/arialuni.ttf /home/user/.fonts/
otherwise you're just copying the file to /home/user/ and renaming it .fonts--that's why it's saying .fonts is not a directory.

Hope that helps!

thx for your help butt i try it still not work I open for help here what i did

I have os 2008 new version

First create the directory
mkdir /home/user/.fonts

Then copy the fonts to it
cp /media/mmc1/arialuni.ttf /home/user/.fonts/

Then, since you are doing all this as root, you need to change the permissions
chown -R user:users /home/user/.fonts/

It means that you have somehow overwritten the font file to the file named /home/user/.fonts !!!!


You should do this:
==============================================
sudo gainroot
rm -rf /home/user/.fonts
exit
mkdir /home/user/.fonts
cp /media/mmc1/arialuni.ttf /home/user/.fonts
===============================================

the first 3 commands allow you to erase the file /home/user/.fonts
the last 2 commands create the directory named /home/user/.fonts and put the unicode font file in it !

The last unix command means "copy the file /media/mmc1/arialuni.ttf
to /home/user/.fonts if /home/user/.fonts is a directory then copy under it otherwhile the file has a new name /home/user/.fonts"

Therefore for most people in order to avoid mistake, they would type:
cp /media/mmc1/arialuni.ttf /home/user/.fonts/
just to make sure /home/user/.fonts has to be a directory.
