gtk+ 1.2.x should work well for CJK,
provided you have install the appropriate locale data.
unless your gtkrc.xxx (xxx is your locale name)
didn't setup correctly.

The patch CLE used is exactly HJ's patch.
Interestingly, it SHOULD support GB2312, but it didn't.
I don't what's wrong, and that's why Belcon worked on it...:)

For people in Taiwan, we use traditional Chinese version of
MSWord(support big5). I'm not sure if there is a version of MSWord
that support all CJKV. I'm not familiar with MS platiform, sorry!

GS 5.x and above support CID-Keyed CJKV fonts.
GS also support truetype fonts, but not well for CJKV.
However, there is patch for gs 6.01 to use CJK ttf as CID-Keyed fonts,
as Belcon mentioned, http://www.aihara.co.jp/~taiji/tops/
Another way to use ttf with gs is using through VFlib.
http://TypeHack.aial.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/VFlib/
I'll send you ps files that generated by Chinese version of abiword.
It can be viewed via gs 6.01+gs_ttf.ps patch or gs 5.x+VFlib patch.

Sure. There are several TeX/LaTeX system that support CJK.
One is just called 'CJK', written by Werner LEMBERG <wl@gnu.org>.
ftp://cle.linux.org.tw/pub/CLE/i386/RedHat/RPMS/CJK-4.2.0-9.i386.rpm
The alternatives are ChiTeX, cwTeX.
All of them support Chinese truetype fonts.

LaTeX is also popular in Taiwan for scientists.
In fact, I use LaTeX(ChiTeX) to write my master thesis
(in Chinese, of course...:)
