Hi Hiro, 

         I appreciate your help so much!  
         I  followed your suggestions and the problem is fixed now.  Yes, it was EPG in OSD.  

Cheers!

Is this EPG in OSD?

Check your OSD font setting in menu at Settings - TV settings - Play - On 
screen display.

Your Chainese font file *.ttf (not ttc) copy or symlink to mythtv font 
directory (default is /usr/share/mythtv/), and choose it to OSD font setting.

I using MythTV menu and EPG, OSD by Japanese, also can saw KANJI and KANA 
characters.

Have fun.
Hiro.

         I've spent days trying to display UTF8 Chinese characters in EPG which I added directly into the program table by using phpMyAdmin or the mysql client command line. MythFrontend could not display them correctly (shown as [][][] or ?), but I can view these Chinese characters in the program table using Mozilla/Netscape on local and remote machines by  choosing the UTF8 encoding.   However  Mythfrontend can display  Chinese characters in menus that I've translated in mythfrontend_ch.ts. 
           
          I used myth-0.14 and the source code from CVS, neither displayed UTF-8 EPG correctly.  I upgraded to Qt 3.3.1, MySQL4.1,   tried different encoding in program table(e.g, changed the collation of title/description from latin1-Sweden-ci to  utf8/gb2312/gb18030), neither solved the program. 

          Any help would greatly appreciated!  I believe it's a very small thing that caused the problem.  Maybe a line or two in MythTV that did not do encoding conversion correctly? 

     I desperately need help. Thank you very much!
