Hi, all. First thing to say: if this mail is redundant, I am sorry.
I have posted two mails before but no exist on this list so I try again.

I just tested mkfontscale-20020418 and felt it is pretty good. :)
But I found some problem: (I tested it with Arphic TTF which be distributed
with most Linux distributions and all *BSD.)
1) Here is the fonts.scale:
bsmi00lp.ttf -arphic-AR PL Mingti2L Big5-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
bkai00mp.ttf -arphic-AR PL KaitiM Big5-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
gkai00mp.ttf -arphic-AR PL KaitiM GB-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-gb2312.1980-0
gkai00mp.ttf -arphic-AR PL KaitiM GB-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
gbsn00lp.ttf -arphic-AR PL SungtiL GB-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-gb2312.1980-0
gbsn00lp.ttf -arphic-AR PL SungtiL GB-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1

but it miss two lines for Big5 encoding fonts:
bsmi00lp.ttf -arphic-AR PL Mingti2L Big5-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-big5-0
bkai00mp.ttf -arphic-AR PL KaitiM Big5-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-big5-0

It seems the problem of FT_Get_Char_Index() in checkEncoding().
I think you could fixed this for us to save my time free from hacking work. ;)

2) After I add that two lines by hand, I still have to edit the fonts.alias
file for running rxvt. The sample for 16 pixel fonts is:
"-aliasarphic-AR PL Mingti2L Big5-medium-r-normal--16-160-0-0-p-160-big5-0" 
"-arphic-AR PL Mingti2L Big5-medium-r-normal--16-160-0-0-p-160-big5-0"

The other two GB encoding fonts seems don't need fonts.alias file.

3) Besides that, I need to fix the spacing value 'p' to 'c' because the
value 'p' will cause delay in several seconds when start-up rxvt.
Don't know why. X-)

The other two GB encoding fonts seems don't need fix the value.

However, thanks for your program!
Would it be merged into next XFree snapshot?
