I have plans to include GB18030 in XFree86 after 4.3 is released. The main issue that has been keeping me from doing so so far is that the encoding conversion tables for GB18030 bloat Xlib considerably. I have been thinking about either eliminating these conversion tables entirely taking advantage of this functionality in glibc or making them loadable.
