The Chinese was showing up for me with GNU Unifont, but not a very
good quality rendering - the AR PL... fonts are better.   For some
reason, on my system the arphic/uming.ttf font has the family name
of "AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni", not the Uming name you saw, so I needed
this to get it to work for me:

  <xsl:param name="symbol.font.family">serif,Symbol,AR PL UMing CN,AR PL
ShanHeiSun Uni,GNU Unifont</xsl:param>

It doesn't complain about not finding the font under the Uming name so
it seems to be safe for people without all the alternative fonts installed.

I'll go ahead and push this for now, and let further fine tuning of the
fonts happen after the 7.6 release, since I think we're looking pretty
good now.   Thanks for all your help here.
