Hi,
I can see chinese web page in konqueror but can't print them, the preview(to PDF) shows nothing(completely blank, not even those english characters) in one version of KNOPPIX, show just square blocks in another for Chinese characters. I tried both simplified as well as traditional Chinese website and the result is the same.
I have no problem printing them in Mozilla(well they are ugly in the output).
I haven't installed any Chinese fonts and only use the default font set coming with xfree86 4.3 which surprisingly already support chinese character set.
However, xlsfonts shows that there is only gb2312(simplified chinese) charset fonts but not big5(taiwan). Still I can view all chinese website(both character set) without any problem.
Puzzled. Is that because printing actually don't involve X so fonts in X is not usable ? As a side note, printing under linux is another subject that is as clear as mud to me.
