Ugly Chinese Fonts
Using Google, I found the solution posted here. Essentially, it’s a four-step solution:

  1. fontconfig-voodoo -f -s zh_CN

  • move the “AR PL ZenKai Uni” font above the other Chinese fonts
  • lower the use of ugly aliased fonts below a certain pixel size- look for the keyword “pixelsize“ in the file
