Thank you Dr. Fabian for your help. Having accomplished all your recommended changes, I can now get Chinese displayed correctly in most KDE and GNOME apps. xcin is working without freezing. The truetype arphic fonts seems okay with anti-aliasing enabled. Chinese KDE interface and menus also seem alright. Except several minor problems, which are really minor compared with even unable to use Chinese at all, everything seems working perfectly. The qt-gui plugin of licq is constantly giving me trouble in showing Chinese characters, but it can be worked around by unloading the plugin and reload it again everytime I use it. Though a bit troublesome, at least I can see Chinese properly now. Also, I have some problems configuring kwrite and kate to type in Chinese characters. Not because they cannot be configured to do so, if I do so there will be a superfluous space in between roman alphabets. So scripts are displayed weirdly. The problem is not detected in kedit, but it does not have syntax highlighting in kedit that makes writing programs less comfortable. I wonder if this is caused by the alignment issue of Chinese and roman characters in the "vertical selection" of kate and kwrite. I have turned off vertical selection, but it does not help. Also, are there any more Chinese true type fonts available for SuSE? Thank you again for assisting me in setting up a working Chinese environment in SuSE.
