I'm finding it very difficult to get started with CJK to do a very 
simple thing. I'm running it on Debian Squeeze and using latex or 
lualatex. At this point, all I need to do is to include a few Chinese 
pinyin characters in an article.

I installed latex-cjk-chinese. I gathered it requires in addition the 
installation of a suitable font. I was told to install hbf-jfs56 to 
get bitmap fonts for simplified Chinese. But I cannot find it.

So I installed the Arphic fonts that are available for my distribution 
(latex-cjk-chinese-arphic-bkai00mp, etc). For simplified fonts I 
suppose I should choose either SungtiL GB, KaitiM GB. Where do I find 
out what their difference is?

Although the Chinese characters are shown in the CJK 
arphic-sampler.tex when I compile with latex, when I add:
 
  \usepackage{luacode}   
  \usepackage{fontspec}  
  \usepackage{pinyin}    
  \usepackage[USenglish]{babel} 

and try to compile with lualatex, the characters don't display.

How do I imput chinese characters? Do I need to install scim or is 
there some way to input their hex codes?
