Unicode font (efont)

Been going through a number of forums for the chinese display solution, most of them refers to the efont package from zaurus.cis92.net. However it seems to be down, and it takes me a while to find the efont package in 2 size. Size 16 and 24.

The way people suggests is to remove all the links to the font helvetica_xx_xx.qpf and instead links to the efont_xx_xx.qpf within /home/QtPalmtop/lib/fonts/. I have done it for the efont_240_xx (since the fonts is larger and is more easily read on the screen.)

example like this:
# ln -s ./efont_240_75.qpf helvetica_100_75.qpf
# ln -s ./efont_240_75.qpf helvetica_120_75.qpf
# ln -s ./efont_240_75.qpf helvetica_140_75.qpf
# ln -s ./efont_240_75.qpf helvetica_160_75.qpf
.....

after a reboot, I can now display chinese with the helvetica selected (or efont) which points to the same font set anyway.

Below is the screen shot of the English-Chinese dictionary.
