I just got a Nook so I don't really know what I am doing. To view Chinese I followed the steps:

1. Plug in Nook to my computer, shown as H: drive
2. Create a new folder called Font
3. Copy the Win 7 font file msyh.ttf & msyhbd.ttf to the Font folder
4. Add my Chinese txt file into Calibre, convert to epub using the following extra CSS:

@font-face {
font-family: "MSYaHei";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///system/media/sdcard/Font/msyh.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "MSYaHei";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///system/media/sdcard/Font/msyhbd.ttf);
}

body { font-family: "MSYaHei", serif;}

5. Copy the epub file to the Nook H:/my document/novel.epub

and when I open it with the Nook, I just get bunch of ??, when there are english characters, it does display it correctly.

What am I doing wrong here? Any suggestions or tips will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks! Mike
