Did you launch GNU Emacs with the -Q option? This means: without any =20 customisation. Now enter: C-h H! After some a buffer HELLO will open. =20= How is the size of the Chinese characters in this buffer? How is the =20 size of the characters when you perform your usual completion test in =20= mini-buffer? If all looks pretty well you can try: M-x describe-fontset RET. You =20 can also position the cursor on one of the Chinese characters in the =20 HELLO buffer and type: C-u C-x =3D.
