 But when something like "XXX abcd XXX" (XXX stands for chinese
 characters) sent to the application, it will be handled in Chinese
 encoding, then it will be rendered by xft with the Chinese TTF file.
 The applications cannot split "XXX abcd XXX" to "XXX" + "abcd" + "XXX"
 for different languages.(Note that encodings like GB2312 is compatible
 with us-ascii). So I want to find a solution transparent to
 applications.
