Hi, 

I have a question for installing 2 byte (Chinese) font in the MacX 1.1. 

I download bdf fonts in the Mac and use the font menu to convert them and 
update the font list. The `xlsfonts` command shows the newer installed fonts 
in the MacX server.  However, when I try to use `xfd` to view 2 byte font, 
Mac bombs with ID=12.  I notice that 1 byte font I installed works fine. I am
pretty sure that 2 byte font itself has no problem, since I use it in a Sun 
Station.  I also checked Mac system error code, which says that 12 represents
"unimplemented core routine error".  I don't know if this indicates that 2 byte
fonts are not support by the current version of MacX.  The system I am using
is a Mac Plus with 2.5 Mb RAM, 44 Mb external harddisk running system 6.05.
The communication is performed through local talk.

Besides the above problem, I am satisfied by the performance of MacX.  I heard
MacX team is reading this newsgroup, could someone help me?  Thanks in advance.
