Description Mike Fabian 2006-03-07 11:10:03 UTC 
Even if the locale is set to zh_CN.UTF-8, emacs prefers Japanese
fonts when loading UTF-8 encoded Chinese files.
Comment 1 Mike Fabian 2006-03-07 11:14:25 UTC 
Kenichi Handa <handa@m17n.org> explained on the mule@m17n.org mailing list:

Kenichi Handa> by default, the UTF-8 decoder of
Kenichi Handa> Mule-UCS sets higher priority to Japanese characters sets.
Kenichi Handa> For instance, U+4F60 (ni 1) is included in
Kenichi Handa> japanese-jisx0212.  So you get the above character.  If that
Kenichi Handa> is the case, try this:

Kenichi Handa> It puts chinese-gb2312 the higher priority than Japanese

New /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/suse-start-Mule-UCS.el
which contains code to change the charset order.
