hi, after trial and error, I finally succeeded to launch Netscape with CJK support.
The information I provided was too insufficient. I'm sorry for that. Here is a more detailed version of the environment I'm using: locale: zh_TW.Big5 wm: KDE (from http://kde.tdyc.com, I can't update my KDE there, why?) xfs-xtt running and xfont-arphic-bsmi001p installed Netscape failed because the arphic fonts were not running in X as 'FontPath "unix/:7100" ' was not included in XF86Config. After amending XF86Config, I could see the arphic fonts by running xlsfonts. However, the whole system suspended when I launched netscape. All the CPU resources were used by the xserver. But now, everything works fine since I initialize the xsession by adding the argument '-deferglyphs 16' (What does this mean?) Netscape now looks great with menu in Chinese and I no longer see any strange alignment of Chinese words when I type in it. One minor problem is that strange characters are still shown at the top of the window. Can it be fixed? Anyway, it looks wonderful. I am grateful for all your contribution. Thanks a lot!!
