Have you followed the instructions in the MESSAGE file so that the fonts
are really available under X11? You might have to configure applications
to explicitely use these fonts.

Look for CJK (Chinese-Japanese-Korean). I can't really tell whether it's
sufficient for a Chinese user but I've rarely seen any text that couldn't
be rendered.

$ curl -Ls --url http://zh.wikipedia.org/ | less

would be a simple check for the terminal. I can't read it but mlterm
with efonts seems to render the text fine. Most terminals cannot handle
this at all or are horribly slow/broken/bloated.
