If you are using `"´ on the command line, then your shell is trying  
expand the asterisks. You should use `'´ instead. And, since all  
these simsun fonts are proportional, you can change p to *, and since  
since there is only one in gb2312.1980 you can change the final * to 0.

Another way to solve the problem is to invoke xfontsel and make it  
choose a particularly scaled font. The press select, and you can  
paste that font name into xterm or a file.
