If you have not chinese fonts installed on your system, you can install it yourself. There are many free fonts available on the internet. For example, if you want to make a 24 point KAITI(؟،جم) fonts, you can get bdf font or hbf font from

ftp://ifcss.org/pub/software/fonts/

for GB encoding, you should get file cck24.hbf,cclib.k24 and ccsym.24, then following procedures below:

	> hbftobdf cck24.hbf > cck24.bdf
		(hbftobdf is available in 
		ftp://ifcss.org/pub/software/info/HBF-1.1.tar.gz or some system)
	> bdftopcf < cck24.bdf > cck24.pcf
		(bdftopcf is available on many unix systems)
	> compress cck24.pcf            ---> cck24.pcf.Z
	> mkfontdir			---> in the font directory

Usually, one need not use alias names when use browsers like netscape. When using Chinput, you'd better make alias names to avoid long font name. Then you should create a file named "fonts.alias". e.g., you can add these lines into your file:

	hanzigb16st -cclib-song-delicate-r-normal--16-150-78-78-c-160-gb2312.1980-0
	hanzigb24st -cclib-song-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-240-gb2312.1980-0
	hku16et     -hku-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-big5.et-0
	jiskan16    -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-150-75-75-c-160-jisx0208.1983-0
 	jiskan24    -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-230-75-75-c-240-jisx0208.1983-0

After you mkfontdir in your xfonts directory, you will get a file name "fonts.dir" which list the fonts you installed. You are ready to load these fonts into X server.

• load xfonts in local disks: You should only type

  
  	> xset fp+ /path/to/my/xfonts
                (please make sure you set the proper DISPLAY environment.)
  

• load xfonts across internet: You should make a configure file and use font server software to load xfonts. e.g., if you want to make font server which listen at port 7777, then you can save these lines to a file named "config7777"(as you wish):

  
  	port = 7777
  	clone-self = on
  	client-limit = 10
  	catalogue = /path/to/my/xfonts
  	default-point-size = 120
  	default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75
  

  Then type

  
          > fs -cf config7777 &
  

  to startup the font server, and type

  
  	> setenv DISPLAY myfavouratehost:0.
  	> xset fp+ tcp/yourservernameoraddress:7777
  

  to load these xfonts to X server. Please make sure you have really got them installed properly with

  
          > xset q
          > xlsfonts | more
