I've not used xp, so I know little about it. in win2k all windows fonts are placed in c:/winnt/Fonts/. \n\nunix/:7100 specifies the port of the font server. but you don't need it to display the truetype fonts. and the order doesn't matter within the same section.\n\nTTF is some other files provided by your linux. i feel it's better to have a seperate directory for the turetype fonts from ur windows, such as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType.\n\n\ni find the chinput website accessable at, \nhttp://www.opencjk.org/~yumj/project-chinput-e.html\n\nhaven't tried input chinese, will try some time later. can't help lor.\n\nlinux distros differ from one another, check source dependence first. \ne.g.\nchk if ur source needs 'make' provided by your sys or 'gmake'. they are some how different, though we often call them as make.
