The first line says which font to use in the xcin root window.
The second tells xcin which font it should use in the "input
window" if you use the "over the spot" input style.

Mm.. I can understand if there are _some_ characters missing in
GB font. After all GB font is used to display simplified
Chinese. But it should display those characters which are the
same in traditional and simplified Chinese. Are _no_ characters
displayed when you use the GB font, not even for a simple "ni
hao" or so?

Mm, what does it say in your /var/log/XFree86.0.log file?
Is there a fonts.dir file in the /usr/local/share/fonts/TrueType
directory? If not go into the directory and create one using
the command
ttmkfdir >fonts.dir
If the file is already there -- AND ONLY THEN!! -- try to remove
the
Load "xtt"
line in the "Module" Section of the file /etc/X11/XF86Config.
(On a guess, you're seeing the fonts in OOo because you included
them via the spadmin tool..)
Best Regards,
Robert
