The page you list is encoding in GB2312, Simplified Chinese. |

Your problem, however, is that you don't have the right fonts. Deja-Vu |
| 18 |
fonts do not support east asian scripts. (See their website for more |
| 19 |
detail.) |

|
| 21 |
I suggest media-fonts/unifont, which has all Unicode characters, or |
| 22 |
media-fonts/wqy-bitmapfonts or media-fonts/arphicfonts which supports |
| 23 |
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ideographs. |

Hope this helps, |

...for God's sake look at some real data. That's how Maria Meyer was |
| 30 |
able to solve this question that eluded Heisenberg and them all, who |
| 31 |
thought they were all so smart. Thank God the German had him as the |
| 32 |
head of the nuclear program. Had they actually have someone competent, |
| 33 |
they might have built the bomb. |
