Hi all,
Currently we are considering to improve Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese
support. And part of these changes is some changes on fonts. We create a bug report to
notify the WenQuanYi font upstream(Qianqian Fang), and he gives some other suggestions.
(See also:

As suggested by Jens Petersen, we did a survey on #fedora-zh channel and fedora-cn
goolge groups. (See here:
http://groups.google.com/group/fedora-cn/browse_thread/thread/4a3595996ef..., in
Chinese.)
Here are the summary of the discussion:
Result: most users have agreed the following changes:
In Chinese locale, "WenQuanYi ZenHei" font will be default Sans font,
"UKai" font will be default Serif fonts, "WenQuanYi ZenHei Mono" will
be default Monospace.
strictly speaking, "Kai" is not a serif style; it is a brush style,
rather closer to "cursive"; additionally, because in Kai style, most
outlines are not parallel to x/y axes, after AA, the glyph will look
blurrier than those do.
I still believe UMing (song-style) is the better choice for serif. I
suggest you waiting for a few more days and collect more inputs. kaio
seemed to be the only user supported UKai.
