Bug Description
The font used for the Kubuntu 6.06 installer doesn't appear to have the characters needed to display all of the selection & instructions in Simplified Chinese. A lot of characters appear as big black dots instead
e.g.
When selecting a Language at the first screen, the choice for Simplified Chinese should read:
中文（简体）
^
NB: Above would only be legable if you use a Chinese font to view this.
In the Language selection list, the character above ^ is actually shown as a big black dot.
SOLUTION
This appears to be an issue with the Installer using the DeJanSans font. Prior to installation, I downloaded qt3-qtconfig, ran qtconfig, and applied a font substitution for DeJanSans font with "AR PL SanHeiSun Uni" font (thankfully one of the fonts Kubuntu has loaded by default). And restarted X. Seem to have solved the problem
