I try different Chinese fonts file, and nothing seems to fix this. I tried epub which is generate by myself, and Chinese epub I download, nothing seems to work.

Am I the only one facing this problem? is it because of the 2.3.1 firmware?

Thanks in advance.
In addition to xuyn2003's advice, if the font you are using does not show up when you open the font menu, you will need to check the font name and rename the font file to match that name. For example, on my computer, the msjh fonts shows the font name as being Microsoft JhengHei so the file name for the regular variant would become Microsoft JhengHei-Regular.ttf and the bold variant would become Microsoft JhengHei-Bold.ttf. The -Regular may not be necessary.

On a Windows computer, using the Microsoft Font Viewer shows the embedded font name.
