xterm to display wide font properly

I was trying to use export LANG=zh_TW.UTF8, so that my command line at least give me some feedback in chinese. But despite of a readable font, it doesnt display correctly, because the characters seem to show up with spaces inbetween. That looked ugly.

just when I was about to give up, it finally gave me to correct information. In addition,

and
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html
are pretty useful to look at too. But I realized that some characters don't display properly. with 檔being one of them, but whatever, I still have roxterm as a backup.
Hope this is useful.
