Another issue from the KDE support lists.

Does FontConfig deal correctly with non-Latin font names.

The example posted is:

	http://www.linuxsir.org/bbs/

The first font on the list is non-Latin.

The encoding is gb2312.  In Hex it is: eb ee ec e5.

How does FontConfig handle such a font name.

It would appear that it might also have to deal with the fact that KDE/Qt might 
convert it to either:

	UTF8: 	e5 ae 8b e4 93
	16 bit:	5b8b 4f53

If this does work with FontConfig, which encoding should be used?

any help would be appreciated.
