Nothing, you just need a unicode input :). Anyone really need
a unicode input method? like utf-8? xcin and chinput does not
support utf-8 yet.
For your Arphic fonts, the arphic fonts in current debian IS
unicode ones. So no problem. Just add your fonts to debian.
How? hmm... get ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp's source
(apt-get source ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp),
see how it is package, make your own arphic font packages.
Why? because it will let you easily remove your fonts.

Foka said latest gtk is broken. Maybe that caused your problem.

You need to have unicode locales in your system. create one
with local-gen: edit /etc/locale.gen, add zh_TW.UTF-8 UTF-8.
run locale-gen.
then you are set.
People are working on a utf8 enabled xterm. I am not sure
if it is released officially yet. Otherwise, gtk/gnome
should support utf-8 generically under utf-8 locale.
I did not tested it though. :(
