You have to install gs-cjk-resource, and cmap-adobe-gb1 (simplified Chinese)
or cmap-adobe-cns1 (traditional Chinese) packages To handle Chinese
characters with Ghostscript.

Because these packages are non-free, so you may need to modify your
/etc/apt/sources.list to allow non-free component.
Example:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/ etch main contrib non-free
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                     Add them

You'll need to install Chinese TrueType font packages also.
