yum -y install fontconfig

Now you can see the fonts and fontconfig directories under /usr/shared (they did not exist before).

Before that we need to create a directory. First create /usr/shared/fonts/chinese.

mkdir /usr/shared/fonts/chinese

Copy the fonts you need and upload them to /usr/shared/fonts/chinese. Here I use SimSun and HeiTi (used in reports). You will see files with ttf and ttc extensions.

chmod -R 755 /usr/share/fonts/chinese

Next, install ttmkfdir to scan font information in the directory and generate the fonts.scale file.


yum -y install ttmkfdir

ttmkfdir -e /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir

vi /etc/fonts/fonts.conf

<dir>/usr/shared/fonts/chinese<dir>

Refresh the font cache in memory.
