Hi, Stephen,

we're down to two glitches now, right?

Somewhere in the file /usr/X11R6/etc/xcinrc there are two lines:

    (FONTSET            
"-sony-*-24-*-iso8859-1,-*-medium-r-*-24-*-big5-0")
    (OVERSPOT_FONTSET   
"-sony-*-16-*-iso8859-1,-*-medium-r-*-16-*-big5-0")))

If you exchange the "16"s in the second line by "24"s the 
characters will be as big as in the root window.  Don't use any 
other values than 16 or 24 -- except you really know what you're 
doing.


At the same time you could (instead) change the line

(define INPUT_STYLE             '(OverTheSpot Root))

(or similar) to

(define INPUT_STYLE             '(Root OverTheSpot))

and you won't get the small window anymore but an input space in 
the root window itself.

Mm... maybe you chose the wrong font?  It should work with both
"AR PL KaitiM Big5" and "AR PL Mingti2L Big5".  I've tested 
different fonts a little bit, and on my system additionally all 
"Fixed" fonts work, "Mincho" misses some characters (GB font?), 
"Ming" works, but is kind of ugly -- but it seems to have both 
Big5 and GB characters...

Best Regards,
Robert
