[XeTeX] simple font installation question

[Daniel Greenhoe]

I am trying to use XeLaTeX from the Miktex 2.7 distribution (Windows) to typeset a simple document containing Latin and traditional Chinese characters. But XeLaTeX is not finding the fonts for the Chinese characters. How do I specify this font information? How would I even know which fonts are available and which font to use? Is there a FAQ somewhere explaining font installation?

In the past, I was using CwTeX (Chinese LaTeX) for processing of the Chinese fonts. I think CwTeX uses Big5 character encoding and generates an extra input file called "cinput.tex" which provides font-family information. Now I would very much like to switch to XeLaTeX because it supports UTF-8 encoding.

Here is my tex file ("main.xtx"):
\documentclass{book}
\begin{document}
  Chinese 1 2 3 \\
  中文  一二三 \\
  end
\end{document}

Here is my command line entry:
  xelatex main.xtx

Here is the log information:
