Now to determine which font(s) to install. Anyone have suggestions?

be a reasonable candidate list.

ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp - "AR PL SungtiL GB" Chinese TrueType font by
Arphic Technology
ttf-arphic-gkai00mp - "AR PL KaitiM GB" Chinese TrueType font by
Arphic Technology
ttfprint - A utility to print Chinese text using TrueType fonts
xfonts-cmex-big5p - Big5+ Chinese Mingti bitmap font (by CMEX &
DynaLab) for X11
