Important information for installing Asian fonts:

Red Hat & CentOS

Version 6

In the RHEL 6 / CentOS 6 release, 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"

Version 7 

In the RHEL 7 / CentOS7 release, the language font group packages are no longer available. Instead, these releases have "groupinstall" lists which bundle multiple packages together. There is a single Fonts package which includes support for these languages:

Example
Copy Code
# yum groupinstall Fonts

Ubuntu

By default, Asian language support is not installed on Ubuntu systems. In order to properly render documents with Asian fonts, support for corresponding languages should be installed.

To install Japanese language support, run following commands:

Example
Copy Code
# sudo apt-get install language-pack-ja
# sudo apt-get install japan*

To install Chinese language support, run following commands:

Example
Copy Code
# sudo apt-get install language-pack-zh*
# sudo apt-get install chinese*

To install Korean language support, run following commands:

Example
Copy Code
# sudo apt-get install language-pack-ko
# sudo apt-get install korean*

And finally, you will need to add additional fonts:

Example
Copy Code
# sudo apt-get install fonts-arphic-ukai fonts-arphic-uming fonts-ipafont-mincho fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-unfonts-core
If PrizmDoc Viewer was running when you installed language/font support, you must restart PrizmDoc Viewer in order to apply the changes.
