Incorrect Chinese appearance.

[Afante]

Hi!  Today, I just downloaded aMSN.  I found it better than KMess, which cannot display simplified Chinese with Japanese.

However, I found font effects of Chinese characters do not apply correctly.  The Chinese character cannot appear italic and in correct size, just as shown in accompanying pictures.





In fact, all the characters are Chinese, the only difference is that the incorrectly shown Characters are not available in Japanese.

I didn't find any option to correct it.  Did I miss them?  Or, could you please correct it?

My guess is that you should install another font which contains all the correct glyphs for all Chinese characters. It looks like tk cannot find the correct glyphs in any fonts and decides to display them in non-italics.

EDIT: make sure you use tcl/tk 8.5 , as it fixes a lot of font-related issues

I think it's related to the font used. You can change it in the Appearance tab of the Preferences window.

It is often difficult to find a font that supports all languages.  gedit on my PC works pretty acceptable, so does OpenOffice.

Try to use the DejaVu font.
