hope it will be helpful.

-----------README.cfonts---------CUT HERE -------

These are the Chinese fonts I know of that are available for X11 as of
March 1991.  They are located on crl.nmsu.edu [128.123.1.14] in
directory pub/chinese/fonts.

NOTES

1. The Csong16.bdf font from the X11R4 mlx contributed program is the
   same as cclib16st.bdf.

   Csong16.bdf, Csong24.bdf, and Txian16.bdf came with the X11R4
   distribution, so they could already be on your system.  They are
   located in the [X11R4 source directory]/contrib/clients/mlx/
   subdirectory.

2. The 8x18 font has been included for sites that don't have an ASCII
   or Latin1 font that looks nice with the 16x16 Chinese fonts.  The
   Csong24 font looks nice with the 12x24 font that is already available
   with X11R4.

3. To extract compressed fonts:

   To uncompress all fonts in the current directory:

      "uncompress *.Z"

   To uncompress a single font in the current directory:

      "uncompress HKU-Ch16.bdf.Z"

4. Don't forget to transfer them in binary mode!


INSTALLING X11 FONTS

1. Convert the fonts to X server format.

   Example: "zcat HKU-Ch16.bdf.Z | bdftosnf > HKU-Ch16.snf"

   (For DECWindows users, there is another program called bdftopcf, or
    something like that, that should be used instead of bdftosnf.)

2. Install the *.snf fonts in one of the X11 font directories or some
   other directory.

3. cd to the directory containing the *.snf fonts and make the
   fonts.dir file.

   Example: "mkfontdir"

4. Tell the X server about the new fonts.

   A. If you have installed the fonts in a directory other than one of
      the usual X11 font directories, tell the X server where the fonts
      are located.

       Example: "xset fp+ [full path of directory containing Chinese fonts]"

       You will have to tell the X server about this directory every
       time you get into X.  This line can be added to your .Xstartup
       file or to your .xinitrc file.

   B. If you have installed the fonts in one of the usual X11 font
      directories, tell the server to reload the list of available
      fonts.

      Example: "xset fp rehash"
