Tried that. Still nothing but blank rectangles.

Actually, I'm curious in how wine pick the font. Is it try to deduce 
that from code page? And how does it know what X font to choose if I 
specify CP950?

-isas-song ti- is a GB font, which is used in Communist China (zh_CN). 
Taiwan and Hong Kong (zh_TW and zh_HK) uses big5 fonts *-big5-0 which is 
not included in the standard XFree86 distribution.

One thing that may be of interest. xselfont cannot display my Chinese 
fonts also (just blank on the sample text area), but mozilla and 
windowmaker can use it without problem.

I'll do more experiment on it .....
