I have the mule-gbk package installed.  However, it displays GBK
text as all boxes.  Maybe I have to use GBK fonts instead of CNS-
5, 6, 7 fonts.  Though I've never found the GBK fonts for free
in the net.  OTOH, the utf-8 way that uses existing fonts is
very good (mule5-gbk.el[1], alias junk, works this way).
