[SOLVED] Browser cannot display the full character set

Characters from some languages like persian, vietnames, japanese, chinese are not displayed in my browsers (I have chromium and firefox installed). The browser just displays little squares. However I don't think it is a problem with the browser but the x installation. I think I have all basic fonts installed.

In my x-installation I have the following fonts installed (These are all fonts I could find via 'pacman -Ss xorg-font').

extra/font-misc-ethiopic 1.0.3-1 (xorg xorg-fonts) [installed]
    X.org Misc Ethiopic fonts
extra/xorg-font-util 1.3.0-2 (xorg-fonts xorg) [installed]
    X.Org font utilities
extra/xorg-font-utils 7.6-4 [installed]
    Transitional package depending on xorg font utilities
extra/xorg-fonts-100dpi 1.0.1-5 (xorg) [installed]
    X.org 100dpi fonts
extra/xorg-fonts-75dpi 1.0.3-1 (xorg) [installed]
    X.org 75dpi fonts
extra/xorg-fonts-alias 1.0.3-1 [installed]
    X.org font alias files
extra/xorg-fonts-cyrillic 1.0.1-4
    X.org cyrillic fonts
extra/xorg-fonts-encodings 1.0.4-4 (xorg-fonts xorg) [installed]
    X.org font encoding files
extra/xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.1-3 [installed]
    X.org misc fonts
extra/xorg-fonts-type1 7.4-3 [installed]
    X.org Type1 fonts

Can anybody give me a hint on how to diagnose the problem.

Read the wiki article on CJKV fonts: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … Vietnamese
