With `chinese-py' input method I can input simplified Chinese characters; instead with `chinese-py-b5' there are only white squares. What am I missing? In my .emacs I put the following stuff: (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec "-isas-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0" t) (set-language-environment "Chinese-GB") (set-selection-coding-system 'cn-gb-2312) (set-clipboard-coding-system 'cn-gb-2312) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'cn-gb-2312) (setq locale-coding-system 'cn-gb-2312) (set-terminal-coding-system 'chinese-iso-8bit) (setq default-input-method 'chinese-py-punct) . Thanks for further help! Rodolfo
