(The similarly named nf lets you specify whether a font belongs to a serif or sans family, among others.) First, backup the original files, and then place on top of the list the font you'd want to use as a preferred one for Chinese. The file nf is the one when you can set priority of your non-latin fonts for a certain language. This is where the font engine is actually tuned. OK then: before you do anything else, please take a look at your /etc/fonts/conf.avail and /etc/fonts/conf.d.

Wqy-bitmapfont - Bitmapped Song Ti (serif) Chinese font Opendesktop-fonts - New Sung font, previously is ttf-fireflysung package Ttf-arphic-uming - Mingti (printed) Unicode font Ttf-arphic-ukai - Kaiti (brush stroke) Unicode font (enabling anti-aliasing is suggested) Wqy-zenhei - Hei Ti Style (sans-serif) Chinese Outline font embedded with bitmapped Song Ti (also supporting Japanese (partial) and Korean characters). Wqy-microhei - A Sans-Serif style high quality CJK outline font. Ttf-tw - Kai and Song traditional Chinese font from the Ministry of Education of Taiwan (AUR).

I'm currently learning chinese and I noticed the characters look really not ok.
