We have no HKSCS font with Debian. You can use MS' or whoever's
font which might include HKSCS' characters. Or you can create one
by using pfaedit (we have that package in debian sid at least).

I think HKSCS only added about 1000+ glyphs. Maybe 10+ hours
work if using the Arphic's font as the base.

I do not know if the X x-tt module has HKSCS's codec. It might
have.
