Chinese font is always a problem in my Linux, every time I install a brand new Linux, dealing with font kills my time. Therefore, I will list the font problems encountered in this thread.
1. system font
I am using gnome, the system font can be modified in system->preference->appearance
then, under theme choose customize.
2. firefox font
select the simplified chinese first, then choose your chinese font and character encoding.
3. title bar font
Because I am using compiz to manage my desktop, the Emerald themer manager is in charge of the title bar font.
