For those out there searching for the answer like I did (it's amazing
to find also zero post on this topic), here's how you do it:

1. install the chinese font package in CD #4 of FC5 installation disk
(no, those KDE or xorg chinese fonts wouldn't do it):

root$ cd /media/disk/Fedora/RPMS/
root$ rpm -vih fonts-chinese-3.02-4.1.noarch.rpm

2. restart firefox.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Would you know where can I get the source of korean fonts for Firefox
(not RPM)?
Thanks Very Much

Maybe the "korean-fonts" package, from another of your installation disks or
at one of the Fedora Core mirror sites?

I think the question specified korean Firefox fonts in non-rpm form,
which presumably would not be on the Fedora installation disks or core
mirror sites. I don't know the answer though.

They're fonts in a noarch.rpm file. If you have the ability to extract
files from an rpm (or convert it) (e.g. rpm2cpio, but may require an
rpm based system anyway) you can extract the font files. Being on a dialup
(and the file being over 20Meg) I can't get it (without spending a lot
of time). Or someone who has installed it can look at the files in the rpm
rpm -q -l [installed_rpm]
and put copies in a tar-ball (with a text file indicating the directory
in which they were installed).

You can get it: use a "wget -c" operation on your local FTP mirror.

Extracting and tarballing and compressing them somewhere else won't help you
much: they're compressed in the RPM, and the RPM is almost entirely made of
the fonts, so you'll have nearly 20 MB to transfer some other way.
