[etoys-dev] Fonts

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Regarding traditional chinese fonts, I asked  to a friend in Taiwan
about possible choices.
Follow his advices.
Free free to ask  Pr. Hung <ckhung at cyut.edu.tw> more advices.

That's wonderful! In ubuntu, we typically use either
one of these two font packages:
ttf-arphic-ukai  compressed 9.7M, installed 17M
ttf-arphic-uming compressed 7.8M, installed 21M
Each contains both of Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
Japanese and Korean supports are being developed.
I personally prefer ttf-arphic-ukai.

I am also cc'ing to Prof. Justina Hsu

She is keen to introduce squeak/eToys to her Univ.
