Is that a chinese font? The name rather suggests that it contains some encoding information. Font files usually have a .pcf or .ttf suffix, possibly gzipped. > I test my TinyX11 in this way: > (1) Cross compiled XFree86-4.2.0 with MIPS gcc; > (2) Copy the required libs to my NFS target directory; > (3) Booting my MIPS target board; > (4) After target board running up, then execute: > # xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/xinitrc > And the LCD will display a X log! > # export DISPLAY=:0 > # xmessage -g 192x64-0-0 -button OKAY " 中国 " > It will dump out the following messages: > > Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C Apparently you have set the LANG and/or LC_* environment variables to something not supported by Xlib.
