Hi I am trying to type in chinese fonts on Openoffice but to no success.

I have already enabled for asian languages under tools>options>language settings and I've already gone to the Languages tab in the Regional and Language Options dialog box, and then click to select the Install files for East Asian languages check box. yet i cant use the chinese font I've instaled fr http://www.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/edv/sinopc/chinese_fonts.htm

Can anyone help me out here?

Could you perhaps give information on your operating system - Windows or Linux - and your input method - NJStar or ... or SCIM?

What do you see on the screen?
Does the font selection box display your new installed fonts?

my operating system is Windows XP and my font box shows the chinese fonts but when i type it's just english. what do i need to do to activate the hanyu pinyin for chinese? meaning how do i get to the mode where when i type alphabets, the software leads me to choose which mandarin character i want to use?
