I had just updated my binary to 23.1.50 before sending the original
message.  I understand I should remove extra settings....

Still I have a couple of problems, though.  Maybe my configuration is
a bit strange because I prefer X to Xft, and also I want to use
14dot fonts (I'm a k14 lover).

So my .Xdefaults contains:

Emacs.Font: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-130-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Emacs.FontBackend: x, xft

1. As Mr. Yamamoto pointed out, still some characters are shown as
   half width in japanese-jisx02*.  Also almost all the characters
   around 292x-2b7x in japanese-jisx0213* are half width (alphabets
   with various accents).

2. In "HELLO" file, Cyrillic is half width, but Greek is still double
   width.

3. When I open "HELLO" file, some (not all) Japanese characters in
   other buffers start to be rendered using xft backend.  When I open
   another X frame, the font suddenly change to X font (both old and
   new frames).

See attached image for 2. and 3. (I used emacs -q).  It is quite
strange to me.
