Do you have a custom font selected for the current GTK+ theme? If so,
try unsetting it. I did a test last week, using the AquaLightBlue
theme, setting lang=zh_TW in .gnome/gdm, and when I login using GDM,
Evolution was displaying Chinese and Latin characters correctly. When
I can used Verdana as the font for my theme, the Chinese characters
didn't display properly until I used the font (or more likely, the
fontset) specified by the theme.
When change my language setting back to en_CA however, Evolution
continued to display Chinese characters in its widgets until I killed
oafd and restarted Evolution.
Hope this was of some help.
