I had been discussed > with ChaoWei but don't know how to solve it. I went to the web site above and found the web page itself didn't reference 'mingliu.ttc' or 'kaiu.ttf' but its ccs has 'mingliu.ttc' in it. My understanding is that those FONTNAME tags are only suggesting web browser to use those fonts if available. Web browser will decide which font is actually used based on font availability or user preference. I have tried several different browsers and all of them display the page correctly even though I don't have mingliu.ttc or kaiu.ttf installed on my machine. So I am not sure what exactly your problem is. As for UTF-8 font names translation, it is just my way to stuff characters not in ASCII to ttf's (Macintosh,Roman,English) naming table so that the font can be recognized by Xft. Since UTF-8 is essentially viewed as something called 'super-ASCII', it is a natural for me to do that I think. But it may not be very useful in zh_TW locale since under that locale, UTF-8 font names won't be able to show up correctly. It is very useful for any UTF-8 locale though. I have personally used the UTF-8 font names that way without any problem.
