1. View currently installed Chinese fonts on the system
# fc-list :lang=zh

AR PL UMing HK:style=Light
AR PL UMing CN:style=Light
AR PL UKai TW MBE:style=Book

Note: This command displays the installed Chinese fonts. From the output, SimSun (Song) font is not installed.
2. Copy the simsun.ttc font file
You can download it from the internet, or find the corresponding font in the local Windows directory (C:/Windows/Fonts). Here we download the simsun.ttc file from this site’s download mirror:
# mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype
#cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype
#wget http://mirror.cnop.net/fonts/simsun.ttc
3. Generate font index information
# yum -y install mkfontscale
# mkfontscale
# mkfontdir
# ll
total 10276
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 189 Jan 31 22:33 fonts.dir

-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 10512288 Jan 31 22:33 simsun.ttf
Note: This generates the corresponding fonts.scale and fonts.dir files.
