Try unchecking and then checking again "Use free type...". But apart from fonts, CJK content should work. However I don't quite understand why would I need to change font so CJK characters are displayed. Because no matter what font I pick, there will be language whose characters are not supported... and why do I need to select the font in the first place? My linux terminal has DejaVu Sans Mono font and yet it displays CJK characters just fine, so surely we can do better than a stupid urxvt terminal? Peter
