One way to get CJK (or any other character set) to work on the Duet is
to supply the necessary fonts yourself, replacing the shipped font.

I just tried this, and it (kinda) works.

Requirements:
* scp (Secure CoPy) installed (I happen to have Cygwin on my Windows
installation, which comes with a scp)
* a font which support your desired character set - let's assume it's
c:\windows\fonts\simhei.ttf

Preparation:
1. enable remote access on the Duet remote (Settings->Advanced->Remote
Login->Enable SSH) - it will tell you the remote's IP, I assume
192.168.1.3 for the example
2. open a console (cygwin or otherwise)
3. cd c:\windows\fonts

Backup of original fonts:
1. scp  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/jive/fonts/FreeSans.ttf
FreeSans.ttf
2. enter password (1234)
3.  scp  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/jive/fonts/FreeSansBold.ttf
FreeSansBold.ttf

Installation of CJK-enabled font (simhei in this example):
1. scp  simhei.ttf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/jive/fonts/FreeSans.ttf
2. enter passwowrd (1234)
3. scp  simhei.ttf
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/jive/fonts/FreeSansBold.ttf
4. enter passwowrd (1234)
5. restart the remote

After this you will notice that the menu font looks different, as it's
using simhei now.

I noticed that the italic portions (such as when looking at song info)
doesn't work right, there's a mess of pixels. However, in the "Now
Playing" screen, it's just fine - or at least looks fine to me, I don't
read Chinese ;)
