What I get is all garbage (looks like a Chinese webpage displayed using Western codepage), but I can get Chinese to appear in GNOME, Netscape, Mozilla and many other programs that I suspect using gtk+. But I cannot see Chinese in qt-based programs. I have tried opening a terminal and check if the locale is correct. I typed "locale" in bash and it shows the values of those LC variables and all are already zh_TW.Big5.
Could it be that your X server does not have Chinese fonts available? Btw I am working with xcin under SuSE 7.2 with rxvt and Emacs and everything is ok. -- Hartmut Pilch http://phm.ffii.org/ Protecting Innovation against Patent Inflation http://swpat.ffii.org/ 90000 signatures against software patents http://www.noepatents.org/
