I am not sure if fluxbox supports fontconfig which is configured by
/etc/fonts. Which is not necessarily fluxbox's problem, because
window-manager was not supposed to be heavily depending on other libraries.

I also have other problem in displaying Chinese, e.g. bitmap Chinese
fonts could not be correctly displayed. I think it is a bug in fluxbox
(and I filed it). The years' experience is a lot of software not based
on recently developed widget (e.g. gtk) has hidden bugs about Chinese.
e.g. gnustep  (with its own widgets) couldn't display Chinese at all and
a lot motif application suffer from Chinese display problem too.
