I will fix it. Thanks.

I cannot imagine XCreateFontSet with "*" fails, because it doesn't
fail if it find at least one font out of needed fonts for the locale.
Interesting. This may be because of:
- no "iso8859-1" fonts installed
- broken XLC_LOCALE

I don't think XIM is fragile. It is widely used for many years.
However, it might be difficult for non-CJK people to use XIM because
there might be few user-level informations on how to use it in
non-CJK world.
I also think UTF-8 XLC_LOCALE is not yet mature.
