I installed fedora 12 (English version) on a Dell R300 server, as well as SVN and Trac, after I imported files into Linux, all files named in Chinese became black squares or question marks when listing them, and there were additional strings "invalid encoding" attached after each filename. In addition, Chinese font in Firefox looks not pretty, some are big, and some are small.
I installed cjkuni-fonts, cjkunifonts-uming fonts, and also setup locale to zh_CN.UTF8, but it didn't get me any luck.
Could anyone help me with this? I appreciate any response.

I think my questions would be.....
1. Where did the imported files come from?
2. Are you certain that the file names are in UTF8 and not, for example, GB2312?

Does this help? yum groupinstall "Chinese Support"
-c
Thanks for reply. I tried *yum groupinstall "Chinese Support"*, then restart the server, but didn't get any luck.

Thanks for reply.

Those files were copied from Windows XP through ssh.

Most of files are .doc or .xls. Do you know how to convert them to GB2312 ?

It's not the contents of your files being in UTF8, GB2312, or another character set.
It's the filenames themselves being coded in the UTF8 or GB2312 character set.
You say you've set your system locale to zh_CN.UTF8. This indicates that your filenames must be coded in UTF8 to be shown correctly on your terminal.
Try this, in the directory with your files:
ls -l | iconv -f GB2312 -t UTF8
If you now see your files named in proper Chinese characters, this means that your filenames are coded in GB2312. You simply need to rename these files from GB2312 to UTF8. Probably something like this:
ls | while read filename do mv -i "$filename" "`echo "$filename" | iconv -f GB2312 -t UTF8`" done

I have fedora 13 (english version) with
yum groupinstall "Chinese Support"
display, type files and file names all right.
are you able to create a file with Chinese file name?
good luck

Thanks a lot. You are very right about this problem! Now, Fedora can display Chinese file names properly although the font doesn't look pretty. :-D
One more question, when I used Putty to SSH the server, all files named in Chinese couldn't display properly. Is that because of the Putty doesn't support Chinese? If it is the case, which SSH tools do you suggest?

Check that your LANG environment variable is set correctly in your ssh session.

DejaVu sans has nice ch. char. in OpenOffice. I forget whether this started to happen before I upgraded to F13.

The new Chinese font you are seeing may be wqy-zenhei-fonts. :) It is the default now for zh_CN. Dejavu has no Chinese coverage.

Check that your LANG environment variable is set correctly in your ssh session.
Then also check that Putty is running the terminal in UTF8 mode. There is an option, it defaults to cp1252 or something like that.
