:o)....

It is probably not your /etc/X11/xfs/config.  How do you start X?  Do you
use xdm/gdm/wdm or startx?  Either way, make sure you have set
"deferglyphs = 16" or the command line option -deferglyphs 16, e.g.

	startx -- -deferglyphs 16

or check your /etc/X11/xfs/config and /etc/X11/xdm/Xserver files to make
sure deferglyphs is there.  The crash is caused by either xfs-xtt or the
Xserver itself trying to load and render all 14,000 Chinese
character/glyphs from the font file, causing a crash.

A question added:
when i use gfontsel (the fonts selector in gnome) ,choose the arphic
ttf, if i choose the fonts is coded in iso-8859-1 ,xfs-xtt would not crash ,
but if i choose ttf coded in big5 or gb2312 (like bkai00mp ,gkai00mp
,kai(default),ming(default))
the xfs-xtt will crash and the gfontsel will be dead there .
Could someone who has successfull experiences in using arphic truetype
fonts offer his experiences and
related configurations?
THANX A LOT!!!

iso-8859-1: 256 glyphs maximum.
 big5: about 14,000 glyphs.
gb2312: About 7,000 glyphs.

Out of memory, or perhaps a bug with either xfs-xtt or the xserver?  I
don't know.  :-)

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Anthony
