Chinese display and input of gnome2 in SuSE8.1

Title: Chinese display and input of gnome2 in SuSE8.1. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
I have been using SuSE Linux 8.1 for some time, but Chinese characters in gnome2 have always been ugly blocks,
The default desktop of SuSE is KDE, so I mainly use KDE 3. Someone mentioned this in the forum this weekend.
To solve this problem, we decided to take a good look at it.
　　
This problem occurs in "xft". to correctly display Chinese characters, you must invalidate "xft" and run the following command in shell:
　　
Export GDK_USE_XFT = "0"
　　
However, this method is only effective for starting X from the console, and does not work for entering gnome2 from xdm (AHP, kdm), regardless
Put the above Command in/etc/profile or in $ HOME/. xinitrc. The results are the same, only
Effective for gnome2 started by startx.
　　
The gnome2 of SuSE is not directly started by gnome-session, but by the script file.
The file is/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome, which has the following settings:
　　
# Do you want GDK to use XFT? Most probably yes.
Export GDK_USE_XFT = 1
　　
In this way, the environment variables set before startup are overwritten, so the Chinese characters are invisible. To ensure that xft is not used,
Change "1" to "0 ":
　　
# Do you want GDK to use XFT? Most probably yes.
Export GDK_USE_XFT = 0
　　
After this setting, you can see Chinese characters in gnome2, but you cannot enter Chinese characters.
The following statement must be added before the file:
　　
# Start the XIM server
Test-r $ HOME/. xim & source $ HOME/. xim
　　
Restart X to see the friendly Chinese characters.
　　
If you want to install and use the simsun font, you also need to set/etc/pango/pangox. aliases.
