How to display chinese font in file manager?
lizardidi:
Good day, TCL forum!
I have quite a few ebooks with chinese font file name. I already installed the flysung.tcz (correct me if misspelled) and able to view chinese font fine in firefox.
However, in file manager those books name cannot display properly. I tried spacefm and Pcmanfm, the file appear as ??????.pdf.
Is there other .tcz i need to install in order to display them correctly?
My system is TCL 15 32bit on a intel atom netbook with 2 gb of ram.

Sorry, what i meant is ? ? ? ? ?.pdf but it automatically turned into those emoji.

Hi lizardidi
According to this:

there are a bunch of places for setting fonts. Open the manual
with your web browser and search for font.

Thank you Rich!
Tried spacefm font option adjustments, unable to display chinese fonts.
I suspect this is not due to spacefm settings, because Pcmanfm also cannot display the file name correctly.
Maybe this is a system locale thing?
I tried to install getlocale.tcz then i set locale to zh_CN.UTF-8
Then i reboot and in terminal i type lang=zh_CN.UTF-8 ... Unsuccessful T.T

Hi lizardidi. I once had a similar issue, where I had loaded the fonts I needed and my locale was correct, but GUI file managers failed to display diacritical marks. For me what solved the problem was to add this:
--- Code: ---G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@locale
--- End code ---
or this:
--- Code: ---G_FILENAME_ENCODING=UTF-8
--- End code ---
to ~/.profile and reboot.
But before you try that, make sure your locale is correct by typing locale in a terminal.
