Same PC, different accounts. Fonts universally accessible -- Chinese 
web pages display fine for me (well, I disabled Java and Javascript, 
so they are not full of spinning bouncing adverts and every Java 
toy-let ever written, but the text bit is fine).

Filesystem = ReiserFS 
Distro = Debian/testing 
 
My partner is set up for zh_CN.GB2312 first and US English second in 
Kcontrol. and for zh_CN.GB2312 in her .xsession which mainly just 
launches the fcitx xim. 
 
I am set up for US English first in Kcontrol and launch from KDM 
default KDE with no .xsession. I tried adding zh_CN.GB2312 as second 
language without results. 
 
Root is set up the same as me, and also doesn't display the 
characters. 
 
I likely need to make myself a .xsession, but haven't a clue how to do 
this for two languages, assuming this is what is needed, even.

One day I'll get back there from NE China where I have spent the past 
5 years avoiding unemployment. 9 months from now, to be exact. I've 
been told they are a bit short on tech-savy primary teachers now.
