XFree86 with RHL7 have zh_TW.big5 locales but it doesn't install them
by default. I append them.

 % tar xzvf z.tar.gz -C /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/

And set LANG=zh_TW.big5 (not zh_TW.Big5) and try again.
You still see the above Gdk-WARNING?

You can use any big5 fonts. Get from CLE. (You know that?)

Is that /etc/gtk/gtkrc.zh_TW.Big5 ?
Copy it to /etc/gtk/gtkrc.zh_TW .

You don't need to touch them. Use default.

That's the XFree86 bug. Extarce the file I attached.

We are also sure the gnome-terminal can handle the correct CJK multibyte
strings. But it's the RHL7J's feature, not RHL7's.
