How to read Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese in IE4,5 or NC4.x?

Answer:

The best way would be to download Free Chinese fonts using MS Internet
Explorer, follow this instruction:  (Your Netscape can use these fonts
too, instruction in the middle of this post)

Go to:
http://microsoft.com/msdownload/iebuild/ie4sp2_win32/en/ie4sp2_win32.htm

Choose "other" and click "next" button.

Then Choose the type of Chinese font that you want, click Yes if a
message prompt appears.

When it ask you to download IE4, just ignore it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

If you don't want to use IE, follow instruction below:

If you prefer to view Traditional writing form only, download
ie3lpktw.exe (4048k) (or search for this file using any search
machine) from this link:
ftp://ccic.ifcss.org/pub/software/ms-win/www/ie3lpktw.exe

Run it, the program will install the font into your Windows.

After that, go to the menu bar in Netscape and choose "Edit" then -->
Preferences --> Appearance --> Fonts, in "For the Encoding" field,
choose "Traditional Chinese", then choose "MingLiu" as your font to
view Chinese.

If you want to view both Simplified and Traditional Chinese writing,
download ie3lpkcn.exe (2828k) (or search for this file using any
search machine) from this link:
ftp://ccic.ifcss.org/pub/software/ms-win/www/ie3lpkcn.exe

Run it, the program will install the font into your Windows.

After that, go to the menu bar in Netscape and choose "Edit" then -->
Preferences --> Appearance --> Fonts, in "For the Encoding" field,
choose "Simplified Chinese", then choose "MS  Song" as your font to
view Chinese.

Then you will see Chinese writing whenever you receive a Chinese coded
letters or when you see a Chinese coded post on the newsgroups, or
view Chinese web pages, even though you don't have a Chinese system
install in your computer. (When you are using Netscape related
software) No more squares.

For those who use IE as your browser, and has download Internet
Explorer Chinese font, but unwilling to install IE Chinese input
system because you already have a Chinese system, you can use the
method that type above, and would be able to type in Chinese writing
and have correct output for Chinese you type in.  (In Netscape and
Netscape related software of course)


If you think my instruction is not good enough, read this:
I get it from
