Email chinese font display

I sync my iPhone's Mail with my gmail.
But emails sent to me in chinese normally cannot be displayed properly, seems like iphone doesn't support the font.
While chinese emails i forwarded out, which can exactly being viewed nicely with my Mail apps, the other recipient cannot get the emails in proper display (via normal computer email manager, such as outlook, etc).
I guess this may caused by the font coding incompatibility from Mail apps.
Any idea to solve this?
Thanks for your time!

There's no way to manually change the encoding on iphone Mail for either incomings or outgoings, and that is most likely the problem. You might try changing your OS to Chinese, if it is not in that already, and see if that improves anything. Sometimes this will change the default encoding from Unicode UTF-8 to one of the legacy Chinese encodings.
Send me a test message if you like and I will check the encoding being used (tom at bluesky dot org).

Chinese font display problem

In the javascripts of this web site http://weiqi.sports.tom.com/php/zhuanti/zhuantinew.php?id=23
( follow any red link in this page, there will be a javascript popped up), some chinese characters can not be displayed in the right text box and no matter how many changes I make in the fontconfig.properties file about the Chinese font, there is no change of the chinese characters in these java script pages (in the right text box and on the lowerright buttons).
I want to change all the chinese font displayed on the javascripts to the font "ar pl shanheisun uni", how to? Thanks.
My system is Ubuntu 7.04, locale is zh_CN.UTF-8. Jre 1.6.0 or Jre 1.5.0.
I used another Redhat 9.0 system(Jre 1.5.0_02), it can display these characters in the another chinese font. That system is not configured by myself. So I think there must be some way to change these fonts.
Here is my fontconfig.properties file:

Chinese Font Display Issues

Dear Adobe Community,
I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6, and using chinese characters for my text. I've been using "Xingkai SC" however strangely, some characters when typed will display correctly as "Xingkai SC" but others will not, and will automatically switch to "Adobe Heiti Std." I don't understand why this is happening, and would like to know the solution so that all characters appear as "Xingkai SC" instead of typing chinese and getting two fonts together in the same sentence. Here's a picture of this below. (a) As you can see the ( Left to right) 1rst and 3rd characters display "Xingkai SC" but the 2nd and 4th characters are displaying "Adobe Heiti Std."Also even when I highlight the text and manually try changing the text to "Xingkai SC" nothing happens, and everything remains the same. Also another quick question. When selecting fonts what does the "O" and "TT" mean? Hopefully can get the frustrating character issue resolved.
(a)
(b)
(b)

We use mostly English/Latin fonts so it's very hard to get someone who knows about Chinese fonts and Photoshop issues on a Mac. However I can give you something to go on.
You have to consult Chinese design forums, here is one to try.
http://bbs.blueidea.com/forum.php
TT = TrueType fonts OT = Opentype fonts. You will need to read up on those terms.
A suggestion for a good Chinese font to try. It may solve your problem:

Chinese font displayed incorrectly in Windows XP

We are creating pdf documents in our business system containing chinese text and therefore using Windows SimSun font as default. Pdf files shows up correctly in Windows Vista, 7 and 8 but in Windows XP it displayes incorrect characters.
If I copy and paste the text from pdf to Notepad in Windows XP and select the SimSun font it diplayes correct characters. Problem is in Adobe Reader, we have tested from ver 9 and up to the latest but still showing incorrect characters.
Any ideas on why this is happening on Windows XP ?

Do you have the appropriate Chinese font pack installed on any of these computers?

Finder displaying some location in chinese font

Hi,
First time poster here. I have done an extensive search of the community but am struggling to find anything that specifically relates to me. Anyway, I ran the upgrade to Yosemite over the weekend and I am now getting some location in my Finder displayed in Chinese fonts. There is no pattern to what changes and upon reboot it may change what is shown in the Chinese characters. I have included a screenshot below:
Anything I can do to fix this?

Here's a funny thing - I thought that the fix of changing to one language had worked. It has, for most views.
However, when I look at the finder under 'Today', 'Yesterday' or 'Past Week', I find quite a lot of files either have their names or types in Japanese - when I look at the same file in its home directory, the language is back to English.
I've tried rebooting and re-starting Finder, but it seems a pretty hard error.

Cannot display Chinese font in PDF Report

I am using Oracle Report Server 11g currently. I have met a problem that the chinese font cannot be displayed in the PDF report which is generated by oracle report. Can anyone help ?

Hi...
You can achieve this in XML report.
As per metalink Note id ID 842856.1,
1. Copy the following font files from $FND_TOP/resource to the /lib/fonts directory (under OA_JRE_TOP).
ALBANYWT.ttf - "single-byte" characters only
ALBANWTJ.ttf - Unicode font with Japanese Han Ideographs
ALBANWTK.ttf - Unicode font with Korean Han Ideographs
ALBANWTS.ttf - Unicode font with Simplified Chinese Han Ideographs
ALBANWTT.ttf - Unicode font with Traditional Chinese Han Ideographs
2. Restart the Apache.
Regard,
Sathiya.

In Mac OS X Mail some emails are not displaying the correct font size.

I have set my Mail to display email messages (Inbox) to Courier 13 point (easy to read) and most messages are displayed that way, however I often get emails that are displayed in unreadably small and often colored type. I don't understand why this is ... could someone explain how to fix this? Thanx.

The email was probably sent from Outlook as RTF or HTML. You can tell Mail to display those as plain text as well by opening Terminal and typing this command (quit Mail first):
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
See http://www.hawkwings.net/2005/09/27/viewing-html-messages-in-apple-mail/ for more information.

Display Chinese in English Windows with Chinese Font installed?

Dear all,
Please reall help me, this is very urgent.
I have written an applet supporting simplified chinese
and traditional chinese well. But I then was asked to
do this under windows whose default language is English.
Of course, chinese fonts are available.
I have tried a lot but still cannot get the applet work
with the default language set to English. Seems the system
will not retrieve the Chinese font. Can any one tell me
how?

Asian fonts display in font book but show as Western fonts in apps!

Adobe apps still display Asian fonts as Western characters, even though I've changed language settings via the "international" control panel of System Preferences. Perhaps I have not done this correctly? I've restarted the machine after changes to Systems language prefs. Asian and other calligraphic fonts are all installed and display fine in Font Book. Is there a fix?

As my aim is to access character sets without the
need to change the language settings on my machine
That's exactly what Character Palette does.
think the ideal solution is to get a copy of
Fontographer and copy all the decorative fonts and
save them as standard fonts.
A total waste of time in my view.
True Futhark has several
characters that stand for phonetics not compatible
with plain roman alpha/qwerty keyboard use. I
understand the same is true of other fonts-there are
bound to be discrepancies.
Most of the characters in the world are not compatible with qwerty keyboard use. That's why in general people don't use that method to produce them, or try to jigger fonts so they might be able to.
Perhaps this is why so
many characters come up as "?" even when inserted
via the Finder's character palette?
This may be because your app is set to Latin-1 or some other limited encoding. It should be set to UTF-8. Try Character Palette with TextEdit and you will not get any ?'s.
Control+T does nothing in Adobe apps, as far as I can
see. Apple+T brings up the Type palette but there is
no "insert special character" option there.
I got that wrong. The combo for Apple apps is Option + Apple + T. I don't know if that works in Adobe (don't use them myself).
I did notice a wonderful
Tibetan font that must be on my machine somewhere,
though it does not show up in Font Book under "All
Fonts"!
These are part of the ST series of Chinese fonts. If you go to the Tibetan range in Character Palette you can see this and you can also input them in TextEdit or a UTF-8 doc. Or you can examine the contents of an ST font by putting Character Palette in glyph mode.
I guess ideally, for graphics use, one should get the
characters into a standard font file, as I suggest
above, and then type away merrily qwerty-style.
Some Asian scripts have thousands of characters. Using a qwerty keyboard to try to access a few of them from a recoded font is not something that anyone does as far as I know. They use a specialized Input Method or the Character Palette or a similar utility. Also unless you are truly transforming your output into graphics/photos, your input would be seen as qwerty on other machines.
suppose these decorative fonts are available on the
web somewhere, where those who sell them have gone to
the trouble of transcribing the characters in to an
'ordinary' font for you?
Never seen such things myself.
It seems a shame that Macs OSX can't grant you access
to all these decorative fonts (indeed, to all
installed fonts) in a more straight forward manner.
The Character Palette is the most straightforward manner possible for accessing such scripts, if you do not want to switch keyboard layouts. All computer system use a similar mechanism. It even has a Favorites section where you can store characters you want to use frequently so you can avoiding looking them up each time. If you have some specific problems using it, I'd be glad to help, here or by email (click on my name for the address).
Am I correct in these assumptions?
No, I think all of them are wrong myself.

Can you give us some detail about exactly when that happens? On a web page? If so, what url? Email? Text Message?
In any case, I suspect there is nothing you can do about it other than give Apple the details so they can fix it:
