Sorry for getting back to you so late. 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).

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