How to verify that you use the right Chinese font

Step one: Ensure your browser is using the right encoding

Most web pages which display Chinese characters (including ours) use the utf-8 encoding. You should set your browser's "Character Encoding" - under the "View" menu in Firefox, or the "Page" menu in Internet Explorer - to "Utf-8". "Auto-detect" may also work.

PC users: install "East Asian language support"

Windows users should go to their control panel and click on "Regional and language options". The "Language" tab in this menu contains an option to "Install files for East Asian languages". You may need the installation CDs which came with your computer. More help with Chinese languages on PCs.

Linux and other operating systems

This Wikipedia page contains help with Chinese characters for a broad range of operating systems.
