As I said, the first thing to do is report the problem on https://jira.xwiki.org.
Now for the how to fix it, looks like embedding a font supporting Chinese characters might not be as easy as I first tough. I looked at Noto font but the pack which support Chinese (not even talking about Japanese and Korean) is 115MB... We are not going to add 115MB (3 times actually that if we add Japanese and Korean Nato fonts) to the default XWiki package so here are some ideas: * find a lighter font with full support for CJK (but it's possible there is none) * download the Chinese Noto pack either automatically (when zh is enabled in the preferences for example) or on demand in the admin * enable back <auto-detect/> but then we might get back memory issues in systems with lots of fonts installed like we used to * just explain how to install a font by hand (it should be nothing more that extracting it directly in <xwikihome>/WEB-INF/fonts/ folder) On Thu, Mar 9, 2017 at 2:38 PM, Billtec <webmas...@billtec.cn> wrote: > Is there anything I could do to make Chinese characters available in current > release?
