How to enable traditional / simplified Chinese on HTC HD2 WWE ROM

One of the things that stop me to try Windows Mobile 6.5.X custom ROM is lacking of Chinese language support. Most of the custom ROMs out there don’t have it. Only a few of them have it. Without it, you will see lot of block shape on those Chinese characters. Finally, I found a solution to enable traditional and simplified Chinese on HTC HD2 Cookie Energy WWE ROM.

There are several “All-in-One” solutions from xda-developers ~ LEO_TC_HKCW_Fonts_IME_w_Global_Region, LEO_TC_HKCW_Fonts_IME_Only and LEO_Mingliu_IME_NLS_SSung. Tried all of them. Found out only MingLiu font can support Microsoft PowerPoint. AR HeiU20 Medium (gray) font and Arphic Crystal font do not support it. In the end, I installed the custom solution that matches my need as I don’t need to use Samsung IME.
