It is burdonsome to install anything on such a old Gentoo box, so, it is the time shift to a light Linux distribution, such as DSL and puppy.
After spend 10mins to download DSL 3.3 RC2, it bootup the PII in 1 min. Wow, it really rocks on my ancient machine. Unfortunately, it does not support Chinese. However, by studying mydslPanel (the tools to install software on DSL) for half an hour, my Firefox can display Chinese fonts properly already.
To install chinese fonts, please do:
- Install japanese-fonts using mydslPanel on desktop, it will download japanese-fonts.tar.gz to /tmp by default.
- copy /tmp/usr /usr
- copy some fonts file from another Linux system supporting Chinese. I am running Ubuntu on another laptop, so, I copy all /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/* from the Ubuntu to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
- run /usr/bin/japanese-install.sh
exec 3 lines in dsl is ok
