luit -encoding gbk Segmentation Fault

By chys on April 29th, 2009

Chinese users have been encountering segmentation faults when they use luit with GBK in for a long time. (It worked perfectly in the good old days.) This is caused by a bug in X.

A simple workaround is as follows:

Open file /usr/share/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir and exchange the following two lines:

gbk-0 large/gbk-0.enc
gbk-0 large/gbk-0.enc.gz

For more details, refer to li2z’s post.
(I believe anybody interested in this problem should be able to read Chinese:) )
