Hello everybody,

I've got a problem and I can't find any solution. I'm running WindowMaker (which doesn't have anything to do with the problem though) and the default font for GTK+ apps is set to sans which is fine with me. However, I have to type sometimes in Chinese (in GAIM for instance) and the Chinese characters (not included in sans) are automatically substituted from the first available font containing them. The thing is that I don't like this font and here's my question: is there a way to configure this automatic substitution?

I'd be very grateful for any help.

Same question. I found how to do with QT application by running qtconfig and i can finally have all the chinese characters to display in Skype.

Would like to know how to change the order of substitution in GTK because small anti-aliased characters are just too hard to read ...

I've got a temporary solution working fine, I just set Redmond's Arial Unicode as the default GTK app font. I'd still like to know how to configure order of substitution. Anyone?
