chinese characters

Asked by Peer Brouwers

I can't figure out how to display chinese characters in RNB.
When in edit mode they show up, in View mode they are just rectangular blocks..

Like:

´´道可道, 非常道。名可名, 非常名。´´
The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name.

TIA

Problem is solved.

Could be a font problem. Do you know a font that actually
displays Chinese characters?

Is there a way to change the font in RNB somehow, Jendrik?

On my system Arial Unicode displays it all...
So the question still stands, doesn't it?

Problem solved:

Find *Code2000 *font version 1.171 on the Internet and extract the font to
the

\PortableApps\RedNotebookPortable\App\Rednotebook\etc\fonts\font directory

Will cost you 8Mb but will show chinese characters.

@Patrick: Maybe the font should be added to the PortableApps installer?
