Installing Asian Fonts on Red Hat & CentOS

In newer versions of RHEL, such as RHEL 6 (CentOS 6 specifically), the language font group packages are no longer available. Instead, these releases have "groupinstall" lists which bundle multiple packages together. In order to see all language packages available through this interface, you can type the following command:

Example
Copy Code
# yum grouplist

This will output all group packages, the last section of which is "Available Language Groups". Note that some packs may already be installed, in which case, they will be visible under "Installed Language Packs" at the top of the list. In this case, "chinese-fonts" is now "Chinese Support".

To install this package, run the following command:

Example
Copy Code
# yum groupinstall "Chinese Support"

To install all languages listed in the help file, run the following commands:

Example
Copy Code
# yum groupinstall "Chinese Support"
# yum groupinstall "Japanese Support"
# yum groupinstall "Korean Support"
# yum groupinstall "Kannada Support"
# yum groupinstall "Hindi Support"
