I've built rev 282 + patches and did some initial testing with 3 fonts:

·½ÕýÊéËÎ_GBK (FZShuSong_GBK),
Kozuka Mincho Pro-VI (freely provided by Adobe Reader)
HanWangMingMedium

Most characters works fine but punctations seems messed up.
(and papersize doesn't work now! ) I'll spend some time tracing the
code to where things went wrong. Please see my attachment for details.

(http://www.travelphrases.info/gallery/Fonts_ChineseTraditional.html provides
some information on where to find Chinese fonts for testing, if you haven't
noticed.)
