Chinese font configuration in ubuntu 9.04

I prefer YaHei font, due to its good mix of Chinese and English
1. Download from http://rs54l33.rapidshare.com/files/34563809/5101584/YaHei.Consolas.1.11b.zip
2. Copy the ttf file to ~/.fonts
3. fc-cache -fv (to refresh the font list)
4. Right click on desktop -> Change Desktop Background -> Fonts. Change all to YaHei ....

Done.
