Okey, maybe not on linux. But if, there is a de fecto standard Chinese
font name on other ps systems (prints, commercial unix, or atm...), it
still gains us some portability. So if there are no such things as a commonly
used ps chinese font name, then we don't need to worry.
The font or font name no in any linux distro is because native chinese ps
printing is still young or hackish on linux system. But I would think Chinese
PS printing is already widely used on commercial products and there might be
a de fecto one.
Well, most ps interpreters should be smart enough to use fallback font with the
right encoding. but just in case...
