The sad question is then, does GNU Emacs handles that better ???(on the
other hand for me there are more fonts problems in GNU Emacs then in
Xemacs).
There is a chinese GBK extension called mule-gbk for GNU Emacs, it
could be found at http://mule-gbk.sourceforge.net/
Most chinese emacs users use mule-gbk. Many XEmacs users turned
to GNU Emacs just because of that.
On the other hand, the emacs-unicode-2 branch of GNU Emacs seems quite
stable. It can handle GB2312/GBK/GB18030/UTF-8 without any problem. I
take it for everyday use for more than a year, and it works fine.
