That's what confused me.  QX and qx should be Traditional Chinese characters, 
but what characters should we fill?  Any Chinese character, or still QX but of 
what we said "full type" (Not ASCII "QX", but multi-byte characters, just that 
still QX)?  For zh_TW users, we used ASCII characters as well as full-type 
characters.  I still cannot see how you "score" if we fill another full-type 
characters instead of full-type QX.

Almost the same, only a little different.  However, we have the same problem.  
In Traditional Chinese characters (both BIG5 and UTF8), we have "half-type" 
(ASCII) and "full-type" (multi-byte) characters for the same symbols (for 
example, comma in ASCII is ",", and in full-type is "，")  

We may need further informations for scoring zh_TW fonts.
