Hi,
I downloaded pidgin 2.3.1 and installed on vista. Chinese characters in contacts name can not be displayed (see attached screenshot). The conversation window also can not display chinese until I uncheck "preference/conversation/font/use font from theme" and choose a font "simsun". However, this does not solve the contacts name problem. I am running Vista Enterprise. The same package works well in XP. I googled a lot and tried something like putting "gtk-font-name = "SimSun 12" " in .gtkrc-2.0 under %userprofile% directory, while it does affect something but still not chinese characters. Anyone can suggest where to look at this problem?
Thanks,

Pidgin can display Chinese characters, if you have the fonts for them, and if gtk can find those fonts.

I'm afraid I do not know how to make gtk see more of your installed fonts on a windows system.
