Firefox could not show properly Chinese characters. how to fix?
I have firefox portable with the Chinese language pack add-on, but every time I open any Chinese website, the characters are not proper presented so I could not recognize them.
Chosen solution
Firefox can't display CJK characters unless East Asian language support and CJK fonts are installed.
In XP this isn't the case by default as both support for East Asian languages and complex script (Indic) languages need to be installed separately.
So you won't be able to see Chinese characters unless you install East Asian support.
Otherwise you will have to use another computer.

Make sure that you have installed East Asian language support.
Hi Cor-el, thank you so much to answer me. I did thought about this. I didn't install it because I am using this computer in the department. For the reason of data security we are not allowed to make any further changes in the system. So I could not get the access to install this. Is there another way to solve only in firefox or it is not possible?
