The name is Latin name. For example, 'xlsfonts | grep simsun' shows:  
 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-gb2312.1980-0 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-gb2312.1980-0 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-jisx0208.1983-0 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-jisx0208.1983-0 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-jisx0208.1990-0 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-jisx0208.1990-0 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-koi8-r 
    -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-koi8-r 
 
Furthermore, 'xdvi' can generate the additional fonts correctly, and  
some other KDE applications (so they use Qt) do display chacacters  
with font 'simsun'.  
 
Thank you very much.
