   I can't get chinese on rockbox, when i load it, it just displays some english and empty squares.
I am new at rockbox so I don't really understand a lot about it.

Most probably the selected font is missing some characters. Try unifont.

Yes! It works! I tried using Unifont and switched the language to Chinese-Simplified and viola! It worked!

Thanks guys,
  That really was incredibly easy.  Thanks again :D ;D :D

I don't use unicode. Instead I use the "nimbus+uming+cyr+heb-14.fnt" font file that comes with the Linart II theme. The fonts are more compact.

Here is the URL:

Enjoy!
