SOC: [e.g. S905x3]
Brand: [e.g. x96max+]
Model [e.g. x96max+]

When using the free j2me emulator to play java Chinese games, Chinese content is replaced by small squares.

Someone reported the same issue about Chinese font displaying on freej2me's repo and he has managed to fix that but leaved no solution:
hex007/freej2me#160
@25minutes
Sorry for any inconvinience, but since you said this is not a problem of free2me in that issue, could you elaborate on how to solve this on EmuELEC?

I think it may be related to the emuelec system font, because Chinese cannot be displayed normally on RA

@haha496744 我需要1個rom. 我網上找的中文遊戲都跑不了，但英文遊戲可以。只要跟我說哪個網站哪個中文遊戲名我會下載來試試。

@asakous 事实上是中文名的游戏运行不了，改成英文名还是可以，问题是游戏内部的中文字体不能正常显示，等下我给你附件吧，你自己下载试试

since EmuELEC only included liberation-fons . these fonts are not suitable for chinese games. so unless some on introduce a chinese font package for EmuELEC . otherwise there no way to fix it.
現在的EmuELE版本沒有中文字型所以你看不了中文字。除非有人上個PR放中文字型進4.6的版本，如 droidsans 。
底下的版本是我放了 DroidSansFallback.ttf 後的圖

These Chinese fonts should be free to be included
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Localization/Chinese
But as always CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) fonts are very chunky and take a lot of disk space (avg. ~5MiB for a single font with one variant), and inclusion of a single font is not enough (at lease regular and bold variant of a font should come in pair). I don't think many non-CJK users would like to see the image "bloated" with multiple MiBs of fonts they'll never use...

Maybe we could find a way to call these fonts from the EEROMS partition if a user has them there? I am not 100% how these fonts work, but its just an idea.
