No, it does not. It use X's font for display and type1 for printing.
It actually uses ttf for CJK printing thanks to hj's work on this part.

To display Chinese, you have to:
1) put a fonts.dir in your ${abisuite}/fonts/locale-spec/
 Where locale-spec is 
   lang-territory.encoding or
   lang-territory or
   encoding

   Please note it uses '-' instead of underscore '_'.
   Debian's ${abisuite} is /usr/share/abisuite.

2) set your LANG environment to your preferred locale.
   If you want English menu, you can set LC_MESSAGES to C.
   This can be set manually or done inside your 'abiword' 
   script which will call the actual binary.

3) site back and enjoy.

The fonts.dir format is just like native X fonts.dir except
it has trailing numbers for font ascend, descend and width.

This is my GB2312/fonts.dir
