[GNOME 3] how can I change specific font for a specific language?

FenrirAB · 2014-04-17 05:18:04

Hello Community,

I would like to know if its possible to specify a font according to its language...
more specifically on CJK fonts (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)

so far I'm able to globally install a font by

grabbing a *.ttf (and *.otf) file and moving it to the /usr/share/fonts/(designated folder according to *.filetype)

i dont like how the default font for the CJK languages and I would like to change it so...

any idea how?

THANKS IN ADVANCE ^_^

Which fonts have installed with pacman?
Have you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration
Can you post some screenshots and your configs?

i installed the font manually and not using pacman nor aur packages.... i downloaded an *.ttf (and *.otf) files and move them to /usr/share/fonts/TTF using nautilus...

i couldnt figure where to configure them... i was able to configure it on firefox using about:config but the system itself... i didnt know how...

for some reason though when i resetted my laptop... the newly installed japanese font was able to applied in the system... it's solve but i have no clue how it fixed itself...

anyways thanks for the help @karol
