Emacs: Chinese Font Setup
Set Font for Chinese
;; set font for chinese (set-fontset-font t 'han (cond ((string-equal system-type "windows-nt") (cond ((member "Microsoft YaHei" (font-family-list)) "Microsoft YaHei") ((member "Microsoft JhengHei" (font-family-list)) "Microsoft JhengHei") ((member "SimHei" (font-family-list)) "SimHei"))) ((string-equal system-type "darwin") (cond ((member "Hei" (font-family-list)) "Hei") ((member "Heiti SC" (font-family-list)) "Heiti SC") ((member "Heiti TC" (font-family-list)) "Heiti TC"))) ((string-equal system-type "gnu/linux") (cond ((member "WenQuanYi Micro Hei" (font-family-list)) "WenQuanYi Micro Hei")))))
Note: 2020-05-28, in emacs 26 or before, on Microsoft Windows 10, if you don't set font for Chinese, and if a buffer has Chinese character, then emacs operation such as moving cursor will be super slow, like 1/3 of a second when you press arrow key. See also: Chinese Font
