 Asian glyphs?

 I believe a later version 2.5.2 I have been using has this fixed - when
 you download the GTK, it has the font alias correctly added.

 However, I don't think the pidgin will pick that font automatically.

 You must go to Tools->Plugins->Pidgin GTK+Theme Control 2.5.2

 Then configure the GTK+Interface Font, and have to get a font that
 actually
 can pick up an Asian font both in the chat window and in the buddy list
 window.

 I ran into the problem that if I pick a font that can displays things
 correctly in the buddy window, then everything non-English appears to be
 squares in the chat window, vice versa.
