I can’t read the blog post but from the code snippets I think this would work if you created a stylesheet called chinese.style and added at least this content:

embeddedFonts : [wqy-zenhei.ttf, msyhbd.ttf, wqy-zenhei.ttf, wqy-zenhei.ttf]

fontsAlias:
    stdBold: wqy-zenhei
    stdFont: msyhbd
    stdItalic: wqy-zenhei

Those fonts will also need to be in place on your system. Can you please let us know how it goes? The project maintainers are all English-speaking-only so we don’t work much with any other character sets and input on these topics is very welcome.

PS I’d also recommend that you open a new issue when you run into things rather than commenting on an old, closed one. I almost missed this!
