The native Yocto not support chinese, so need to add chinese font .
The first step should download Chinese font files such as MSYHMONO.ttf and DroidSansFallback.ttf.Then copy
fonts files to /usr/share/fonts/truetype and run command fc-cache .update font cache.
use fc-list :lang=zh can see which Chinese fonts are installed:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/MSYHMONO.ttf: Microsoft YaHei Mono:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: Droid Sans Fallback:style=Regular
The secend step is to change default fonts. In weston-terminal.c we can see:
3119 weston_config_section_get_string(s, "font", &option_font, "mono");
3120 weston_config_section_get_int(s, "font-size", &option_font_size, 14);
weston-terminal default use mono font.Just to modify /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
<edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same">
<string>monospace</string>
to <string>Microsoft YaHei Mono</string> or <string>Droid Sans Fallback</string> could display Chinese character
But it have some problem such like as :
the left use Microsoft YaHei Mono font the Chinese character is overlapping ,the right use Droid Sans Fallback font is en-font could not display.
If you have a better way to welcome a message！
