Thanks so much for your helpful information. How to input them? Is it possible to input them by Chinput? thomas> The etl*-sisheng.pcf fonts in the xfonts-intl-chinese package also contain thomas> "sisheng" (I forget which ones exactly), but in a font-specific encoding. Yes, I can type and show them only in Emacs with Wnn.
