Dear MilchFlasche
My suggestions are: 1. do not touch /etc/fonts, only work on ~/.fonts.conf 2.
if you can read Simplified Chinese, go to forum.ubuntu.org.cn in the
section "中文支持" (chinese support) you might find some useful information. Just
go to the forum and find what you need, plenty of solutions there. AndI think
my system deal with the fonts like "bitstream" or "dejavu" in chinese well.
just put them into the XML file, at <alias> section, I suppose.
Indeed, the Qt library work well after the final version of Feisty come out,
at least in my computer. The only problem is in some JAVA programs like
stellarium, no chinese could be shown, I don't know why, but I seldom use
JAVA.
Well, I can answer the question of XML now but not a week ago, since I've
learnt that just three days before~^_^. DTD is useful, but not necessary for
XML files. DTD section only control the structure of XML file, to force the
XML data follow the structure defined in that section. If the XML file data
do not follow, parser will report an error and try to recover. However, it is
not necessary for XML files. Without that, a well-formed XML file will work.
But there will be NO check of structure. A simple example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<HEAD>
<DATA>
<TEXT>
<TEXT>
</DATA>
<DATA>
<VALUE>
</DATA>
</HEAD>
this is a standard XML file, without DTD section. it will be parsed as it is
well-formed.
however, if DTD information is inserted at the 2nd line like this:
<!DOCTYPE HEAD
[
<!ELEMENT DATA (TEXT)*>
<!ELEMENT TEXT (#PCDATA)>
]
>
will be parsed with error because the DTD section restricted the XML file so
DATA could only have element with TEXT.
XML is simple, just spend a few hours you can work on it, though not
mastering.
Good Luck!
