What are the font names, are they Type1 or TrueType, and what encoding are you using?
And specifically, are the font names in Latin (ISO-8859-1) or another encoding?
You are right, these are CJK fonts. All the fonts are TrueType fonts, and I am using encoding GB2312. Only ISO-10646-1 and GB2312.1980-1 are supported by all the fonts, but the most frequently font simsun supports ISO-8859-1.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I need to know about the name of the font -- is it a Latin name or a CJK ideographic name and if a non-Latin character name (like your name) what encoding does the font use for its *name*. To be clear. "simsum" is in Latin characters but the example below is a Chinese name in ideographic characters.
The known bugs are with Type1 fonts not providing the family name in a way that Qt expected. So, this is probably not the problem.
So, I suspect that this is a related problem to a previous question. The previous question had a font name in GB2312. In UTF-8, the font name was éææ and this isn't showing up correctly here but I think that that is a font issue since it shows up correctly in the Mozilla spelling checker. That is the UTF-8 code in HEX is: e9 94 9f e6 96 a4 e6 8b b7. I am told that this translates to FangSong in Latin characters.
If you have such a font name, I do not know how Qt and KDE or FontConfig handle such a name and therefore asked about this on the development list.
