[CR# 434986, CR# 440097] If the fonts installed on your target machine did not match the default font configuration in font.properties,the InstallShield GUI interface and Sybase Central do not display Chinese characters properly.
Workaround: Set the font.properties file manually for the precise language and platform you are using. To set the font.properties file manually:
Check whether the locale is set correctly into Chinese (using the locale command to see the correct locale information). If not, set locale to Chinese.
Check whether the Chinese fonts are installed correctly. If not, reinstall them.
Select one available Chinese font you want to use to display Chinese characters. Remember the name and the absolute path of the font’s file.
Go to the directory where you execute the setup program to install Adaptive Server. Go into the subdirectory JVM\lib.
Look for the font.properties.zh_CN.<platform> file for your platform. For example, if your platform is SuSE 9.0, look for font.properties.zh_CN.SuSE or font.properties.zh_CN.SuSE9.0. If the file does not exist, create it.
Open font.properties.zh_CN.<platform>, and configure the file content correctly. The following two links should be shown to customers. For information about the format of the font.properties file, see the Sun Web site. For information about how to configure the font.properties files, see the Sun Web site
