[solved]Fcitx and Sans font

[tai]

hi all,

I recently installed fcitx because i wanted to type chinese under gentoo.
Upon reading some docs, i saw that i have to use these env vars:

fcitx should work with both zh_CN.* and en_US.UTF8. The easiest way is set LC_CTYPE to be en_US.UTF8, say in your ~/.xinitrc file.

If for some reason that doesn't work, there's a more tedious way. Prepend "LC_CTYPE=zh_CN" every time you start fcitx AND the applications to which you want to input Chinese. LC_CTYPE is then made local and won't affect others. But maybe these individual app's will turn up ugly.

Of course you can tune your fontconfig settings instead.

Neither of those worked. For the second one, exporting LC_CTYPE="zh_CN" after i start applications doesnt work..fcitx won't let me type.
How would i change my font configs? I mean, i want to use Sans and monospace.

I solved the problem by changing my sans font to Bitstream Vera Sans.
