Thanks to hellwolf@seu, his init script helps a lot. please follow the URL
link[1] to find his explanation.

the scripts including wqy-bitmapfont rpm spec and .el can be found in fedora-gro

It would nice to have the WenQuanYi Bitmap Song font in Fedora Extras.

I don't really understand the solution you referred to: would you be able to
summarize it here.

By the way have you tried mule-gbk <http://mule-gbk.sourceforge.net/> ?

The .el file is here:

this snippet is an expanded version:

(set-default-font "fontset-firefly")


To tell the truth, I cannot fully understand why. Hellwolf@seu told me that
emacs is matching wrong font to chinese script in utf8 environment. In his code
he specifies "firefly new sung" for all chinese and english encodings. In the
.el file I use "wenquanyi" instead of "firefly new sung". I could not explain
more :(

sorry, but it is "all chinese and japanese encodings".

please see bug 175599

this problem isn't emacs bug but xorg 7.0 (libfontenc) bug, maybe.

Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer
test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug
reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if
you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest
development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience.

[This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding
myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this
and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

So happy to find that in fc7t3, with default installed emacs-22.0.95-1.fc7 and
fonts-chinese-3.03-4.fc7, locale is zh_CN.UTF-8, every single chinese character
is displayed very well (though a bit small on large display), even when
fonts-japanese is also installed. 

Please close this bug, thanks!
