[Evolution] 答复： evolution: chinese text with standard font is illegibly pixelated

[CHEN Xing]

Drew,
Can you please attach a screen shot for the problem you're reporting?

I believe you're right that such display problems have nothing to do
with encoding (gbk/gb2312/utf-8).

I'm not using Debian now, but I believe
/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-nonlatin.conf is generally the right file to look
at. Try to move WenQuanYi Zen Hei (or WenQuanYi Micro Hei) to the
front of the list of "preferred" alternatives for "serif" and
"sans-serif" fonts.
