I think I have setuped this font correctly, because I can see it in the xlsfonts's output, like this -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-gb2312.1980-0 -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-gbk-0 -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1 -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-jisx0208.1983-0 -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-jisx0208.1990-0 -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-koi8-r but when I try to use these fonts in my emacs like this emacs -fn "-*-simsun-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-gb2312.1980-*" I always fail with message "X protocol error: BadName (named color or font does not exist) on protocol request 77". what's wrong ? Thanks.
