Install your multi-lingual Xterm and input method
Some basic commands to test your multi-lingual system
you# source ~/.i18n.big5
you# CXterm -big5 &
you# CXterm -gb &
cxterm# xcin &
cxterm# xxx demo.BIG5.txt
cxterm# xxx demo.GB.txt
where xxx == more, less, vi
cxterm# echo "Send yourself a test big5 email" | \ mutt -s "Send big5 email" -a Big5.content.txt you@your_domain.com
pine-4.3 seems to send/read big5 emails w/o problems
( pine does base64 encode though )

Installing fonts
Typical path to Chinese fonts that you should install into:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Chinese
/usr/local/Chinese/fonts
# Creates a file: fonts.dir
mkfontdir /usr/local/Chinese/fonts
Temporarily install the fonts ( or edit XF86Config )
xset +fp /usr/local/Chinese/fonts
xset fp rehash
Check if your Chinese fonts are loaded/recognized
xlsfonts | grep -i big5
xlsfonts | grep -i gb
Tell X11 Apps to talk to xcin ( input method server )
export XMODIFIERS=@im=xcin
env | grep LANG
Automatically load the new fonts ( after testing )
vi /etc/X11/XF86Config
# wherever you loaded your Chinese fonts
FontPath "/usr/local/Chinese/fonts"
Restart X11
