Asian Font Support

The website uses Chinese Simplified language characters.

If you are seeing a lot of " ??????? " or " □□□□□□ " it is likely that you have not configured your PC or MAC to support Asian Fonts.

Provided you have taken the necessary steps to install international support on your Mac or PC, the most recent versions of the following popular web browsers should automatically and properly display Unicode text in South Asian scripts with a few quick steps:

Windows 2000/XP:

Internet Explorer (6.0 or higher)

Firefox

Mozilla

Opera

Mac OSX (10.3+):

Safari

These instructions are applicable for the following browser versions (Configuration procedures may vary for other versions): Windows 2000/XP/Vista: IE 6.0 or later, Firefox 1.0.3 or later, Mozilla 1.77, Opera 8.0; Mac OSX 10.3.4: Safari 1.3.
