[XeTeX] simple font installation question

[Andrew Moschou]

In addition, you should be able to use any font that is installed on
your system. If you have Chinese language support installed, you
should already have Chinese fonts installed. Typing "fc-list
>fontlist.txt" at the command prompt will produce a text file
fontlist.txt that contains a list of all available fonts, to identify
the Chinese fonts, look for Chinese characters in the file, e.g.
because "SimSun,宋体:style=Regular" is in the list, SimSun is an
available font.
