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.
