IIRC, XLFD stands for X Logical Font Description, that's those long X window font names you see, e.g. -adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--10-100-75-75-m-60-iso8859-1 What you need to do is to replace all fonts listed in font_properties.zh_TW_Big5 that are not in your system with the ones you have that have similar size and characteristics. I have a fixed up font_properties.zh_GB2312 using fonts from X11 distribution. I can send it to you if you want. I don't have the Big5 one (I use that less often as I am from the mainland). > > > BTW, what did you mean by Chinese X server? > > Yup! > > > Did you mean you have chinese > > fonts installed or a localized X server?

That sounds really nice. Would you mind telling me who made this product? A URL to their website would be great.
