To View Chinese On MS Windows: 

MS IE (Internet Explorer) displays our Chinese web pages better. Please upgrade your IE  to at least 5.0. If Chinese fonts have not been installed on the PC, IE will install them automatically (a feature called download on demand) when displaying our pages.

If you plan to use Netscape, the easy way is to install a Chinese viewer. You may search the internet or click here for some information. There are some Chinese viewers available for download. If for some reasons you don't want to use a Chinese viewer, you may use the Chinese fonts installed by IE. Go to the Preference dialog box of the Netscape. In the Appearence menu, select the Fonts item.  Select the encoding for Traditional Chinese (Big5). For the variable-width and fix-width fonts, select the Chinese font " MingLiu" installed by IE.  Now select the encoding for Simplified Chinese (GB). For the variable-width and fix-width fonts, select the Chinese font " MS Song" installed by IE. 

IE displays our web pages better. 

To view Chinese on UNIX: 

If your Unix system does not have Chinese fonts, you may search the Internet for some public Chinese fonts for X Windows. To View Chinese using Netscape, follow the steps below: 

1. Under your home directory, create a directory, cfonts.
2. Download this compressed tar file.  Uncompress it and untar to the subdirectory, cfonts.  Be sure to right click on the link and select "Save Link As".
3. Enter the following command:

  xset fp+ $HOME/cfonts

4. Run Netscape.
5. Bring up the Preference dialog box. For older versions, it is under the menu "Options-General Preference". For new versions, it is under the menu "Edit - Preference".
6. Select the encoding as Traditional Chinese (Big5) or Taiwanese (Big5).
7. Select the Chinese font (HKU) for both Proportional and Fixed fonts.
8. If the display of a Chinese web page is wrong, go to the Preference dialog box again. Select the size even though there is only one size. Netscape will refresh the window. You may have to this a couple of time for web pages until Netscape displays the pages right.
9. Perform the same step for Simplified Chinese (GB).  The Chinese font is "Song".
