For Chinese characters to display, I think you need to have 16-bit HTML code
(unicode). I haven't done this before, so I am not entirely confident about
how to do it. But if you look at the source code of a chinese page in
notepad, you'll see it looks funny. I think to display chinese characters,
you'd need to have the page that shows them to be in unicode. The 'easy way
out' would be to change that text into images.

I am just giessing here, but maybe this is a use for true type fonts? You 
install true type fonts in a directory, then refer to them in the map file.

Good luck,
