i would like to use the new version,so maybe i am a time-traveller.sorry for my
careless that i fail to give the info about the version.from version
1.9-2.10,the problem exsits.but under windows,all works well ,which makes me
think the problem is due the the fonts.

in fact,from version 1.90,R can display Chinese correctly under windows.(though
it sometimes ugly before version 2.1.0).
when i use $xlfonts,i can see my system has the following fonts,and i am sure
the song fonts can support chinese.
