Looks
If the default Chinese fonts are rendered through xfs, TrueType fonts look bad while bitmap fonts looks ok.
xfd -fn '-isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-gb2312.1980-0' & xfd -fn '-isas-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-gb2312.1980-0' &

use xfs to render simsun TrueType fonts
chkfontpath --add /opt/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/win_zh_CN
No changed to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. I.e., Font path is only "unix/:7100", and xtt module is not loaded
xlsfonts | grep sim
and
fslsfonts | grep sim
the results are the same list of names.
xfd -fn -misc-simsun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-gb2312.1980-0 &
can only show the first ASCII page, no Chinese fonts shown. I.e., next page and previous page buttoms are grayed.
use xtt to render simsun TrueType fonts
chkfontpath --remove /opt/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/win_zh_CN
Add /opt/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/win_zh_CN to font path, and load xtt module.

Adding simsun TrueType fonts to both xfs and xtt
chkfontpath --add /opt/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/win_zh_CN
And add /opt/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/win_zh_CN to font path, and load xtt module.
xlsfonts | grep sim
— yield twice as much as. not good
fslsfonts | grep sim
— have it
