Hey @Tony, welcome to the forum. 🙂 > [@Tony](#): > > I update NextCloud office to latest version. After that, we found that cannot display Chinese correctly. Without more information, it’s a little hard to help. - What is your Collabora **Help \> About** info? - What version of Nextcloud + richdocuments are you running? And you are saying
 it was working fine previously, and just recently broke? - Do you happen to know what version you were running before? ---

Hi, NextCloud: `This Nextcloud is on version 28.0.6` NextCloud Office: ```auto COOLWSD version: 24.04.2.1git hash: [80a6f97](javascript:void(window.open('https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/commits/80a6f97'));)(E) LOKit version: built on [a great technology base](javascript:void(window.open('http://col.la/lot'));) Collabora Office 24.04.2.1git hash: [4fe480d](javascript:void(window.open('https://hub.libreoffice.org/git-core/4fe480d'));) Served by: Rocky Linux 9.4 (Blue Onyx) [52ea1ddd](https://srv7.example.com/apps/richdocumentscode/proxy.php?req=/hosting/discovery) "Slow Proxy" Copyright © 2024, Collabora Productivity Limited. ``` When we are running NextCloud 28.0.4 (sorry forgot the NC office version), it cannot display Chinese correctly. After we running: sudo -u apache php updater/updater.phar --no-interaction to upgrade NC from 28.0.4 to 28.0.5, it cannot display Chinese correctly. Tonight, I update from 28.0.5 to 28.0.6, it still cannot display Chinese correctly. Please help! Many thanks! Tony ---

Hey @Tony, I moved your duplicate thread here (because you added a helpful screenshot). Please do not post in multiple places. You were already getting some help in this thread! 🙂 **Note:** I also [see you cross-posted to the Nextcloud Forums too.](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/nextcloud-office-cannot-display-chinese-and-japanese-correctly/194916) That’s good, maybe more help / other solutions too! * * * Hmmm
 and: Q1. Did you install Collabora Online using Docker? Q2. Is your browser / Nextcloud / OS showing a fully Chinese UI? * * * > [@Tony](#): > > ![Screenshot 2024-06-11 231558](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/collaboraonline/original/2X/d/df81d349b1a2ef959d98837597303d267637ef94.png) Thanks for the screenshot! Looks like in your Nextcloud (or OS), you might want to also: - Add a Chinese font This will help it appear in the “Font” dropdown inside of Nextcloud Office. Like right now, your screenshot shows: - DejaVu Sans but that isn’t a font that supports CJK characters! * * * ### How to Add A Font to Nextcloud Office In Nextcloud: 1. Use your browser to visit your Nextcloud admin dashboard. - In my case, it was: - `http://10.0.2.15/apps/dashboard/` 1. In the far upper-right: - Click on your **profile picture \> Administration Settings**. 1. Along the left-hand side, under “Administration”: - Click on “Nextcloud Office”. 1. There should be a section called “Extra Fonts”: - Click on the “Upload extra font file” button. 1. Upload your CJK font there. - For example: - [`Noto Sans CJK` fonts](https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk). Now, when you go back to your spreadsheet, you should see: - “Noto Sans CJK” in the dropdown. Hopefully that will let it display the Chinese letters. Right now, your Nextcloud\<-\>Collabora is probably not finding any CJK fonts, so you are getting those blank squares. ---
