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

By looking thru the fonts that Debian has, here's what looks to 
be a reasonable candidate list.

ttf-arphic-bkai00mp - "AR PL KaitiM Big5" Chinese TrueType font 
                      by Arphic Technology
ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp - "AR PL Mingti2L Big5" Chinese TrueType font 
                      by Arphic Technology
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
