Dear David:
 Thank you for your help. My emacs on Fedora core 6 is 21.4.1.
After I type the C-u C-x = on the Box as your suggest, here is
the message shown by emacs

  character: §U (0453075, 153149, 0x2563d)
    charset: chinese-big5-1 (Frequently used part (A141-C67F) of Big5
(Chinese traditional))
 code point: 44 61
     syntax: word
   category: C:Chinese (Han) characters of 2-byte character sets
c:Chinese
             |:While filling, we can break a line at this character.
buffer code: 0x98 0xAC 0xBD
  file code: 0xA7 0xDA (encoded by coding system chinese-big5)
       font: -- none --

Obviously, the emacs does not load the font properly. The font which I
want to use
are one of the following two :

-arphic technology co.-ar pl mingti2l big5-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-
c-0-ascii-0
-arphic technology co.-ar pl mingti2l big5-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-
c-0-iso10646-1

The .Xresources I set up is :

Emacs.Font:    fontset-18
Emacs.Fontset-0:   -*-*-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-18,\
ascii:-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1,\
chinese-big5-1:-*-ar pl mingti2l big5-medium-r-normal-*-*-0-*-*-c-*-
ascii-0,\
chinese-big5-2:-*-ar pl mingti2l big5-medium-r-normal-*-*-0-*-*-c-*-
ascii-0

which must be wrong. However, I have no idea how to modify. Any
suggestion will
be appreciated.  Thank you again.
