Thank you all for the comments.  

However, I am looking for a way to display Chinese characters with the pdaXROM, instead of the original QT environment.

Anybody can help ?

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf
and restart X server

Think there may be another step or two besides just restarting the X server. At least, I just copied (after gunzipping) all the *ISO8859-1.pcf\'s from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc on a Gentoo box to the Z 860, as well as the fonts.dir and fonts.alias files from there, yet when I try to start aterm with -fn [any of those fonts] I get \"aterm: can\'t load font \"[font name]\". This is after exiting and restarting X, and even after doing a reboot.

I know I\'m forgetting some step I used to know here....

Later ...

Okay, in the directory you\'ve put new fonts in:

Code: [Select]

mkfontdir

Then if it\'s not already a directory in the font path, add that with xset (which does not work through ssh for me - had to do it on the Z):

Code: [Select]

xset +fp /path/to/dir

Then

Code: [Select]

xset fp rehash

At this point your new fonts should be available. But ... they\'ll be more easily invoked if you have an appropriate fonts.alias file in the directory they\'re installed to - not something I\'ve time to look into just now (since it worked well enough by copying it from Gentoo).

If it\'s a new font directory, you also should edit that into the FontPath line in your XF86Config file.
