I assume you mean Emacs-mule, I prefer the XEmacs interface and I thought the mule support was common to both. I manually deleted the taipei fonts, exmh could still display big5 but still very ugly. XEmacs gave errors for missing big5 font. kcfonts has been installed on my computer for a long time and used by crxvt, but I see that the port had changed and now generates a fonts.alias. I pkg_deleted intlfonts, kcfonts and etlfonts then reinstalled kcfonts and etlfonts. Now XEmacs shows an error for the "HELLO" file: Unable to instantiate font for face default, charset japanese-jisx0212 This font only seems to be in intlfonts, the port japanese/x0212fonts was deleted last year acording to cvs repository. Good news is with just kcfonts and etlfonts 1) XEmacs big5 encoding is OK 2) exmh is much clearer, only a few characters are ugly. 3) xcin2.5 works. Seems I'm better off _without_ intlfonts.
