[OU] Why opera on my linux box displays boxes when chinese characters?

[Magicloud Wang]

Dear,
	I have done a little testing, with different chinese fonts. Here is the 
result.
	All fonts work well under KDE 3.5.8, I mean any place on my screen, and 
firefox 2.0.11.
	With some fonts like 'wqy', opera can display the menu right. But some other 
fonts like 'firefly', opera can not display the menu, while the tab and 
window title are OK. After with some web pages that using different encoding. 
I think maybe opera has some bugs on mapping char code(unicode, gb18030, 
etc.) to the right symbol in a font. The reason is that on one chinese web 
page using one encoding, some characters display OK, while others are just a 
mess. (you may try bbs.ngacn.com to see) (I have set all font options in 
opera to one chinese font)

Thanks.
