Options to enable support for Chinese character?

[jlesage]

Did you try to change the font ? In Settings -> Advanced Settings, search for "Font name". Set the value to "Dialog".
See https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=65408

Yes i have just tried that. It remain the same. Maybe it is because of the base system dont have the font to support the character?

Maybe... could you provide a way for me to reproduce the issue?

Here is the youtube link contain chinese character. When i add it to the linkgrabber, the name just show "boxes" which should be the chinese character.

Or you can try change the language interface of jdownloader to Chinese(Taiwan). It will also just showing "boxes"

After doing a little bit of research. i have fixed it by install fontconfig and install the Chinese font from Here

Although it display Chinese, it seems it still not able to "write" chinese charcter (example file name)

Yeah I also found this font for Alpine. It can be installed with add-pkg wqy-zenhei --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing.
However, none of the available font (WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono, WenQuanYi Zen Hei Sharp, WenQuanYi Zen Hei) seems to look good.
Which one did you enabled in JDownloader?

[jacobhogary]

Hmmm i think it is WenQuanYi Zen Hei. I just install the font file manually by downloading above zip file. Then extract wqy-zenhei.ttc into /usr/share/fonts/wqy-zenhey and then run fc-cache. Finally just restart the docker.

Installing the font with add-pkg wqy-zenhei --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing and keeping the Font Name in JDownloader to default seems to be the right solution.

I will find a way to provide an option to automatically install this when wanted.

With the latest image, to automatically install the WenQuanYi Zen Hei font, you just need to set the environment variable ENABLE_CJK_FONT to 1.

When this variable is set, the existence of the font is verified during startup. If missing, it will be installed automatically.

Hi, where I can find the setting? how can i do it? could you please give more info about it? thanx

This is a container environment variable you need to add. If you use the command line, you need to add the -p ENABLE_CJK_FONT=1 parameter to your docker run command.
