Jungshik Shin wrote on 2002-08-06 15:05 UTC: You can use one of 18pixel iso10646-1 bitmap fonts included in XF86 4.x with more CJK characters than 13pixel font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ko-18-120-100-100-c-180-iso10646-1 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ja-18-120-100-100-c-180-iso10646-1 However, I believe neither of them has the full coverage of GB 2312. From README in http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz 12x13ja.bdf: Covers all CP1252, CP437, JIS X 0208, and Hangul characters, and a few more. This font is primarily intended to provide Japanese full-width Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji for applications that take the remaining (halfwidth) characters from 6x13.bdf. Might in the future be extended to cover TARGET2 if there is sufficient interest in using it as a stand-alone fixed-width font without 6x13. The Greek lowercase characters in it are still a bit ugly and will need some work. 18x18ja.bdf: Covers all JIS X 0208, JIS X 0212, GB 2312-80, KS X 1001:1992, ISO 8859-1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,15, CP437, CP850 and CP1252 characters, plus a few more, where priority was given to Japanese han style variants. This font should have everything needed to cover the full ISO-2022-JP-2 (RFC 1554) repertoire. This font is primarily intended to provide Japanese full-width Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji for applications that take the remaining (halfwidth) characters from 9x18.bdf. 18x18ko.bdf: Covers the same repertoire as 18x18ja plus full coverage of all Hangul syllables and priority was given to Hanja glyphs in the unified CJK area as they are used for writing Korean. What admittedly is still missing is an 18x18zh.bdf font that gives priority to Chinese style variants, but GB 2312 is certainly covered by both 18x18 fonts. Markus -- Markus G.

BB xterm -u8 -fn \ BB -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-75-75-c-0-unicode-0 \ BB -e luit -g2 'GB 2312' BB the xterm will display chinese but the xterm is somewhat insane.

If I try export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.gbk rxvt I will get chinese displayed ok. If I try rxvt -km gb I get an error message rxvt: no similar multichar font: encoding GB; size 14 and I don't know what its looking for with no chinese.

So far, xterm does not support GB2312 nor other multibyte encodings (other than UTF-8). I am now working on writing a patch for xterm to support multibyte encodings such as GB2312, Big5, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, GBK, and Shift_JIS. The patch also supports TIS620 Thai (which is 8bit and needs combining characters). Also, xterm will follow LC_CTYPE locale to determine encoding. I have almost finished writing the patch. The patch needs a program 'luit' which is found in XFree86 version 4.2. The patch for xterm: http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/i18n/2002-June/003265.html You may want to apply the following patch for luit to support GBK and Shift_JIS: http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/i18n/2002-July/003304.html Please note that the patch uses UTF-8 mode internally and use luit to convert UTF-8 and other encodings (GB2312 in your case). Thus you will need *-iso10646-1 fonts. Invoke the patched version of xterm in zh_CN.GB2312 locale and xterm will use GB2312. There are also several terminal emulators which are sensible to LC_CTYPE locale.
