I'm aware there are problems with the Chinese version. In fact I just 
wrote about it in a message yesterday, and CCed you on it.

However, if dblatex works well for some languages, I suggest that it be 
used for those languages.

I'm still having problems generating the figures, though. This is 
unrelated to the pdf generation as far as I can tell.

As you are one of the authors of the Chinese translation, do you know why 
the gkai fonts don't work? Are the cyberbit fonts required? BTW, this is 
my ignorance speaking, but since there are multiple Chinese languages, 
which one is being used here?
