This suggests you are using a Chinese character encoding [1] rather
than UTF-8 which I'd suggest as it is pretty much well supported among
implementations and was designed with the purpose of overcoming these
character encoding issues. ;-)

Font installation is a procedure which depends on the execution
environment (Operating System, distribution flavor, etc.). Instead,
I'd suggest using SVG or True Type/Open Type fonts (which Batik
supports [2]), to accomplish the display of Chinese characters in a
consistent and future-proof way.



Hope this helps,
