Using Anki deck with non latin fonts Anki

I am thinking about getting an N900 and using Anki on it to learn Chinese. I
do not have a n900 unit to test with yet. 

1. Does N900 require additional installation of fonts in order to display
Anki decks containing Chinese characters properly?

2. Where can Chinese fonts for n900 be downloaded from?

3. How to display Chinese characters on n900? 

Any clues appreciated. Thank you.

Broken jack - enforce headphone mode

Hi,
my n900's headphone jack is in a pretty bad condition; depending on the
model, headphones aren't recognized anymore or just make bad contact.

Does anyone have experience with fixing the jack?
Or is it possible to force the n900 into headphone mode manually?

TIA,

Desktop widgets disappear

Hello my dear Maemo fellows,

Once several days, most of the desktop widgets on my N900 just disappear.

A reboot doesn't correct this (the widgets don't reappear again).

I have to re-add them manually.

When I re-add them, they persist after the reboot but only until the next accidental vanishing.

What does cause this behaviour and how could I fix it?

I look forward for your solutions.

Hi, when hildon-desktop (and other hildon-*) process is starting it check if 
last time process exited normally. And of not hildon-desktop will disable all 
plugins (e.g. widgets too) and reset configuration. I do not know how to fix 
it...

Hi Pavel,

It's a response to a bug/crash in the desktop, possibly caused by
certain widgets. Desktop Clock, QNetMan, Currency Exchange are widgets
people claim will trigger this problem. I'm sure there are others.

Try to think if there was a widget you installed recently before this
problem happened and try to remove it. See if the problem goes away.

If you can't accept that, there are some scripts on a talk.maemo.org
thread about this problem that will restart the desktop and restore
your widgets so you don't have to reboot or re-add them manually.

Good email client

Ciao a tutti,

I would like to know which client would be a good choice to replace the
default to be used with imap.

I use offlineimap + mutt when I want to read big number of messages but
I would like to replace the default client to fast read incoming
messages.

It is possible. Maybe good way will be to patch hildon-* to do not reset 
settings when time of 2 crashes is greater then some constant.

I think Claws-Mail is the only real powerful GUI alternative. It's not
really optimized for a small screen but it's certainly useable and
should be fast.

Yes, that's approximately what Paul Hartman suggests (he mentions some scripts to work it around).

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your response. It seems like a solution.
I can disable most of the widgets. I use many of them but only a few are really necessary for me.
I don’t run those that you name but it’s pretty probable that some of the widgets I use are just buggy.
The only widget I wish to keep is Dr. Launch. We shall see if it isn’t the buggy one ;-)
So for the start, I’ll experiment and remove the widgets one by one. Maybe I shall report my results for the benefit of everybody on this mailing list.
