 I also have another note here:
 
     Fonts installation procedure under ports/chinese typically will
 call ttfm.sh, which is actually.. bogus now. May you try
 
 cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
 rm fonts.dir* fonts.scale
 mkfontscale ; mkfontdir
 xset fp rehash
 cd /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/demo/applets/Fractal
 appletviewer example1.html
 
     Tricks above always work for me. Big5 encoded Chinese fonts, are
 displayed correctly.
 
     Here are my screen shots:

     You may also try applets below. The "reset" and "start" button in
 Chinese characters work perfectly here.
