I checked the file font_properties.zh_TW_Big4. I didn't have the fonts listed on it.I'm not familiar with JAVA, would you tell me what is XLFD, thanks. > BTW, what did you mean by Chinese X server?

You would install both chinese X server and chinese fonts on your system, and you would seeChinese mails, homepages, or others without any problem. Best regards, Doug.
