I just installed Fedora and I’m trying to figure out how to make it display Japanese fonts, by default it displays kanji as Chinese characters, I installed some fonts but still no change, how do I change this?
Most cases will be solved with these settings (but some applications may need additional tweeks):
- Use
ja_JP.UTF-8locale, or - Use
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
- Use
If japanese kanji show as their Chinese variant make sure you are using the proper font variant. My recommendation is
noto-sans-cjk-jp.Fedora does allow you to set the locale, it doesn’t mention generating them so they might very well already be present You can use https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-administrators-guide/basic-system-configuration/System_Locale_and_Keyboard_Configuration/ to read more than I can tell you here.
