16 xfs should not be necessary.

18 I am on ~x86, and Chinese characters works. xlsfonts -l lists all
19 available fonts (though personally I prefer using xfontsel since it
20 doesn't lock up the system the same way), more lines than there can
21 fit in my rxvt buffer.
22
23 Are there any font-related messages in the Xorg logs?
24
25 You really need to provide a LOT more information before we can help
26 you:
27
28 (1) Any interesting log messages from Xorg?
29 (2) Config files for Xorg?
30 (3) emerge -pv of the relevant packages?
31 (4) Error messages from emacs?
32 (5) Since you stated emacs and not xemacs, are you running it in a
33 terminal emulator in X? and if so, which one?
34
35 These are just some of the ones that comes to mind, feel free to add
36 more information that you think may be useful.

38 Cheers,
