# Fonts may be rendered correctly in firefox, but for konqueror, you may
# see some traditional chinese words are missing. People say this is a
# bug in kde font subsitution
# For Konqueror, I go Settings -> Fonts -> Standard Font -> AR PL KaitiM Big5
# edit /etc/fonts/local.conf
# Rearrange, so that AR PL kaitiM Big5 is the first entry.
