Fedora 9下默认启动后emacs是可以输入和中文的，但因为默认字体按照字符集划分的设置问题，很多中文使用日文或韩文字符显示的，导致字体显示不平衡，比较丑陋。
建议设置步骤
安装文泉译字体
# yum install wqy-bitmap-fonts
# ln -s wqy-bitmap-fonts/bitmap /etc/X11/fontpath.d/wqy-bitmap-fonts.fonts
设置完毕后，用 xlsfonts 检查 ：
$ xlsfonts | grep wenquanyi | head -n 1
-wenquanyi-wenquanyi bitmap song-bold-r-normal--0-0-100-100-p-0-big5-0
在你的DotEmacs中加入这些设置：
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
;; set cjk font for fontset-default
(let ((fontname '("wenquanyi bitmap song" . nil)))
(dolist (elt `((chinese-gb2312 . ,fontname)

(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" (car elt) (cdr elt))))
