Re: Debian default font for Chinese display is not complete

thanks for the answer. I did find a replacement font that displays 
Chinese well.. though it does not answer my question as what is 
installed/used by default and how I find out about it. Actually I kind 
of prefer that default font (uncomplete though). Any idea how I can find 
out which one it is?

I'll give a try to the WenQuanYi anyway.
