CJK stands for 'Chinese Japanese Korean' and is a family of fonts that
contains all the Chinese ideographs plus Japanese and Korean letters.
These fonts doesn't seem to work with the SDL client at all.
Regardless of locale, all text is garbled beyond recognition and the
client crashes almost instantly.
I tried the fonts Sazanami, Kochi-substitute, and Fireflysung.
Download links on this site: http://www.unifont.org/fontguide/ (click
on East Asia.)
Note that a pure Korean font (without any Chinese Characters) works
fine. Am using UnDotum, available from above site. A pure Japanese
font might work too, but would be quite useless since Japanese writing
- unlike Korean - typically contains a large number of Chinese
Characters.
Tested on OSX and WinXP with beta4-beta6+.

This turned out to be another bug in SDL_ttf:
https://mail.gna.org/public/wesnoth-dev/2006-05/msg00085.html
And it's fixed in Battle for Wesnoth, so I think we should just use
their patched version of SDL_ttf instead of our current one. Patch attached.
Works beautifully!
So, with CJK fonts working, could we start distributing them in svn?
It would be neat if gui-sdl could detect what locale it ran in and
select a compatible font automatically. :)
