Set up chinese fonts using Microsoft’s simsun.ttf in Ubuntu 7.1 (Gutsy)

Mostly, I follow http://www.fwolf.com/blog/post/170, but that is old (for Ubuntu dapper). They suggested modifying /etc/fonts/fonts.conf which is bad in case of upgrading since fonts.conf will be overwritten. A better way is to add /etc/fonst/local.conf

1) My laptop has XP/Ubuntu Gutsy dual boot. The XP partition is mounted on /c.

mkdir /home/xgwang/win-fonts
cd /home/xgwang/win-fonts
cp /c/WINDOWS/Fonts/simsun.ttc simsun.ttf
cp /c/WINDOWS/Fonts/simhei.ttf .
cp /c/WINDOWS/Fonts/tahoma.ttf .
cp /c/WINDOWS/Fonts/tahomabd.ttf .
cp /c/WINDOWS/Fonts/verdana.ttf .
cp /c/WINDOWS/Fonts/verdanab.ttf .
cp /c/WINDOWS/Fonts/verdanai.ttf .
cp /c/WINDOWS/Fonts/verdanaz.ttf .
chmod 644 *


2)
cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype
ln -s /home/xgwang/win-fonts/ win-fonts
cd win-fonts
mkfontscale
mkfontdir

3)
fc-cache


4)Edit two files (due to Feisty and Gutsy’s new way of mananaging /etc/fonts/)
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/40-generic.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/60-latin.conf
append
<family>Simsun</family>
after
<family>Bitstream Vera Serif</family>
in fields of ’serif’, ’sans-serif’, ‘monospace’

5)do the same in a new file, /etc/fonts/local.conf
(For a starting local.conf, copy http://www.gnome.org/fonts/local.conf)
append
<family>Simsun</family>
after
<family>Bitstream Vera Serif</family>
in ’serif’, ’sans-serif’, ‘monospace’

4) and 5) may not be needed both. Any one to confirm ?
