As another respondant has correctly stated, you can get very good display
of Chinese on modern Linux. Actually, you can get excellent display.
In addition to Owen Taylor's suggestions below,
you just need to have good fonts (and of course you can tell Pango to use those

Hi John,
Correct in what sense? Does the Chinese make sense? Yes, it generally
reads OK. Does it look good? Obviously not. Does it look like Chinese
