How to install a Chinese font on your Windows Mobile 6.1 cellphone

First of all: This also works on Windows Mobile 6.
So, let’s begin.

  1. Download ‘Koteshi’s Windows Mobile 6.1 customizing pack‘ and unzip it.
  2. Goto ‘chinese font‘ folder, copy the ‘wm6szh.cab‘ file to your cellphone and start the installation from there.
  3. After you rebooted your cell, you are able to read chinese characters.
  4. Remember you can only read them. If you want to write chinese you propably need ‘CE-Star‘ or ‘Monster Chinese‘ cause they provide an IME

Known issues with 6.1:

  • Background of your homescreen looks plain green.

Solution:

  • Switch your Home Screen at ‘Start\Settubgs\Home Screen‘ to ‘HTC‘, go to the homescreen and then switch it back to ‘Sliding Panel Media

That’s it 😉
