   I don't have any strong opinion to add emacs- prefix or not. Anyway, I   
   switched back to pangu-spacing. Please check.

Hi Xiyue,

Obinata-san, please feel free to change it back to       "pangu-spacing" if
you        prefer, and sorry for the trouble.
I don't have any       strong opinion to add emacs- prefix or not. Anyway, I switched back to       pangu-spacing. Please check.

Best regards,
