Thanks. Downloaded successfully.
Based on file sizes, these appear to be the same files that were avaliable on other forums earlier.
While it enabled Chinese display, P990i using these fonts will loose the capability to display italic & bold, and thus the mean to visually differentitate between read & unread messages. |

Confirm it works... however it makes the phone feel really sluggish.
I can do without reading chinese on the phone, but the best thing to do is to somehow get the language pack from the Hong Kong phones. |

I hereby confirmed authorised sets in Malaysia comes with Chinese. At least mine did. There's a sticker on the box when I purchased it. And sure enough, when I switched on the phone for the 1st time, I was asked whether I want Simplified Chinese or UK English.
