Please provide screenshot(s) to show us what exactly you are seeing.
I suspect that either:
* A Chinese bitmap font was used in place of the TrueType font, and
X re-scaled the bitmap font, which indeed, doesn't look so pretty.
xfonts-cmex-big5p might be the culprit. Do this:
dpkg --purge xfonts-cmex-big5p
* or perhaps your expectation is too high. :-p

That has nothing to do with Chinese support. Rather, that error message
only shows when you try to run a program that uses the Qt library. It is
attempting to use anti-aliased fonts, but since the RENDER extension is
missing, it cannot do anti-aliasing. I don't know if your video card is
supported by XFree86 4.0.3 to do anti-aliasing.
If you want to pursue anti-aliasing in Qt applications, Please search on the
web for relevant information, or ask on debian-user or #debian on
irc.debian.org. :-) My video cards don't support them yet, so I haven't
played with it, nor do I know how myself.
Cheers,
Anthony
