Not sure. But the default Chinese Font for N80 is S60TCHK.ccc and S60SC.ccc. I got these from the S603rd SDK itself from Nokia/Symbian.

I am trying to figure out how to install it in c:\resource\fonts. I tried placing them in e:\resource\fonts and rebooted but no luck.

I read if you have v4.0623.41, you cannot do it in e:\ anymore, so maybe I will try c:\ later on if I can get my sis installer to work properly.

The fonts are unicode, and I auspect that in this version, Nokia is very stict on using their own font, using their own 'font type name' as well... so hacking is not that easy.

You need the APAC(asia pacfic) firmware instead of EMEA (european) firmware. Try to check the asian nokia site for the asian version of the nokia software updater. If you know how to use phoenix to update your phone, pm me and I will send you the link to get the APAC 4.0623 firmware. Please keep in mind that the APAC 4.0623 firmware does not have FOTA.
