miniChinput -0.1.9 cannot understand XLFD with space in
it in the Chinput.ad file.

Say, the Chinput.ad file

chinput.font = 8x16
chinput.gbfont = -isas-fangsong
ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0
chinput.gbkfont = -isas-fangsong
ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0

(please notice there is a space between "fangsong" and
"ti")
Will cause chinput prompt for "font -isas-fangsong not
found".

This is a bad problem: the above font I mentioned is
the default Chinese font in XFree86 4 as I installed
it. Many companies who cannot afford (or don't wish to
pay) for zysong fonts tends to use this default font,
and there should be a version of Chinput that can cope
with this font.

    Or more, I would like to see miniChinput, failing to work
    with the font specified by the user, choose this font as a
    fail-safe option:
    -isas-fangsong
    ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0
    as this font exist in every XFree86 4 distribution.

    no doubt the right font to use
    for xfree 86
