From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just installed Fedora and I'm trying to figure out how to make it display Japanese fonts, by default it displays kanji as Chinese characters, I installed some fonts but still no change, how do I change this?

"By default it displays kanji as Chinese characters" Not quite sure what you mean by that
Edit: my bad, I read the other comment's link and had not encountered the issue yet. Wish you luck to solve this

I think it's pure luck what font does your OS prefer, I was using Pop_OS and it defaulted to Japanese, but I think it's more common to default to Chinese because of the population size.

I think it defaults to Japanese every time in my experience

Not this time it seems.
