I think Anthony forgot to change GB-H to GB-EUC-H for bold and italic fonts. The GBK-EUC-H was copied from a fonts.dir put up by the original abiword cjk patch author. I think he uses Turbolinux Chinese edition which has GBK Chinese TTF fonts. Yes, I think for debian, it's better to use GB-EUC-H and B5-H for Simplified and Traditional Chinese respectively. > BTW, all these worries would be gone away if defoma was accepted.

So gbk can substitute gb but not the otherway around. I worried about the difference b/w GBK-EUC-H and GB-EUC-H because i don't know how this will affect cross-distribution compatibility. what will happen if a ps file saved under debian is printed on an turbolinux(cjk) or cle+redhat system? is it better if everyone adopt defoma? -- Best regard hashao
