Hi, Here's the patch for tkFont.c and the demo for showing Chinese characters. Remember to have the Chinese Font ready on local Xserver before running the demo program. It doesn't, in any way, a perfect solution right now. It is just an ad hoc trial. I am planning to do a more extensive widget support on Chinese Text which is now only available on Text widget. You're welcome to comment and join. Cheers, Carl Y.P. Yau Systems Research Group CS Dept, HKU.
