For a long long time, my Emacs font definition in X Resources has always been:
! -------------------------------------------------------------- &ss ---
! ............................................................ fonts ...
!Emacs.font: 6x13
Emacs.Font: fixed
Emacs.Font: fontset-gbsimsun
Emacs.Fontset-0: -*-*-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-gbsimsun,\
ascii:-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-*-60-iso8859-1, \
chinese-gb2312:-*-simsun-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-gb2312.1980-*
That was set more than 15 years ago, and had never changed.
Now, Emacs has modernized dramatically since, and X is using fontconfig to define fonts, and Chinese encoding has changed from gb2312 to UTF8 as default as well. So, I'm wondering what's the modern fontsets setting for Emacs is to work with Chinese properly?
More details,
- when give the example, please try not generalize but as specific as possible, assuming that I'm having all the MS default fonts in the system. I.e., please don't give example as
<your_font_here>
, but real thing likeMicrosoft YaHei
etc. - the Fontsets from ergoemacs is still giving gb2312 as the example.
- yet I can't get much from GNU fontset docs either
PS. I'm currently configuring my new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial environment, and for the first time, I've come to the point to be satisfied with my Ubuntu 中文设置. My Emacs is the last problem to conquer.
