Nothing, you just need a unicode input :). Anyone really need a unicode input method? like utf-8? xcin and chinput does not support utf-8 yet. For your Arphic fonts, the arphic fonts in current debian IS unicode ones. So no problem. Just add your fonts to debian. How? hmm... get ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp's source (apt-get source ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp), see how it is package, make your own arphic font packages. Why? because it will let you easily remove your fonts. > > Also, after a recently upgrade (using unstable) my chinese character in > gnomeicu become japanese. Don't understand why.

People are working on a utf8 enabled xterm. I am not sure if it is released officially yet. Otherwise, gtk/gnome should support utf-8 generically under utf-8 locale. I did not tested it though. :( -- hashao| 漫天春雪來，才抵梅花半。最愛雪邊人，楚些裁成亂。 hashao| 雪兒偏解飲，只要金杯滿。誰道雪天寒？翠袖闌幹暖。 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
