I've been having this problem for a while, but I never bothered to |
| 2 |
really look into it, but now, I want to do something about it. |

Thing is, when I view messages in Thunderbird - I use TB13 - that are |
| 5 |
encoded in GB2312 and have chinese characters in them, the font looks |
| 6 |
rather ugly. Unicode messages with or without chinese characters look |
| 7 |
much better. I attached a screenshot for you to see what I mean. |

I googled around for a bit but all the guides I could find were really |
| 10 |
outdated or pointed to other guids that were also outdated. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
So I tried installing some of the suggested fonts, bit that did nod |
| 13 |
solve the problem. |

honest. So I hope one of you guys could help me out. |

Oh, I use GNOME3 (3.4.x from the overlay) if it's relevant. And yes, |
| 41 |
except for some small details, I like my GNOME3:) |
