After deleting the space, `emacs -Q' behaves exactly the same as the behavior before the changing of preference to backends was introduced. This means that, both the "old" behavior and the "new" behavior I mentioned in previous mail are not what are supposed to be. So it doesn't count. > By the way, old-font-log says this is the first font opened: > -unknown-宋体-方正超大字符集-normal-normal-normal-*-0-iso8859-1 > and new-font-log says: > -unknown-宋体-18030-normal-normal-normal-*-0-iso8859-1 > > Do you mean that the former is surely the font you want? I just notice that it is indeed not Emacs' fault of displaying all characters as two units of width with the latter font, it is perhaps due to my improper configuration of X and/or Font Config: Other programs display characters as two units of width too with it. As the result, I'm sure I prefer the former one over the latter one, as long as I can't fix the display of the latter one for X.
