Could you tell me how to get this work in source code? My program broke
in this way(it just render letters only, while doesn't render any
Chinese characters), but pango and mozilla works.

Thanks a lot.

--------- my code ---------

    pattern = XftPatternCreate ();
    XftPatternAddString (pattern, "family", "monospace");
    XftPatternAddString (pattern, XFT_ENCODING, "iso10646-1");
    XftPatternAddString (pattern, "lang", "zh-CN");
    XftPatternAddInteger (pattern, XFT_SPACING, XFT_MONO);

    xftFont = XftFontOpenPattern (dpy, XftFontMatch (dpy, iScreen,
pattern, &result));

Then I draw the utf8 string with :
    XftTextExtentsUtf8 (dpy, xftFont, strOutput, strlen (strOutput),
&extents);
    XftDrawStringUtf8 (xftDraw, &color, xftFont, x, y, strOutput, strlen
(strOutput))
