2. How can I read the Chinese version of news.gov.hk? 

With Chinese Windows installed in your computer, you should be able to read our Chinese version. If English Windows is installed in your computer, you'll need add-on software to enable your computer to display the Chinese version of news.gov.hk. If you use Internet Explorer, you can install the Chinese fonts from Internet Explorer Multilanguage Support. Download them from: http://www.windowsupdate.com

3. Although I have Chinese Windows or the add-on Chinese software or Chinese fonts, I still cannot see certain Chinese characters. Some of them appear as a square and sometimes the lines won't wrap. 

You can download and install the Big-5 version of HKSCS reference fonts and input software for displaying the specific Chinese characters used in Hong Kong. You can download the software for HKSCS from:

4. Can news.gov.hk help me find my way around other Hong Kong Government sites?
