Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but there is a
TrueType font package freely available from Arphic which can be
installed using apt*. Please see:
I'm away from my Debian box and don't have a printer anyway (so I
don't think I installed much in the way of postscript support), so I
am not sure this will solve your problem, but I hope it is helpful.
Best,

It should although it may be not so nice looking.

Hmmm... current unstable lacks Chinese tasks???
No no it is under:
* Simplified Chinese desktop
* Traditional Chinese desktop
e.g. Here:
i ttf-arphic-ukai 0.2.200802 0.2.200802
i ttf-arphic-uming 0.2.200802 0.2.200802
i unifont 1:5.1.2008 1:5.1.2008
i x-ttcidfont-conf 32 32
p xfonts-efont-unicode <none> 0.4.0-5
p xfonts-intl-chinese <none> 1.2.1-6
p xfonts-wqy <none> 0.9.9-3.1
Few other things to consider are:
* Fist do you have system set up for one of UTF-8 locales?
* I am not EMACS user but are you setting EMACS to use UTF-8? (Emacs uses very
special internal encoding system)
>From other angle, my common sense tells me to install are ones listed
under "l" dialogue with:
~Gculture::taiwanese~Gmade-of::data:font
under aptitude.
I have
ttf-arphic-ukai
ttf-arphic-uming
ttf-unifont
unifont
xfonts-unifont
installed.
You may want to consider:
latex-cjk-all
chdrvfont
ttf-arphic-bkai00mp
ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp
xfonts-cmex-big5p
xfonts-intl-chinese
PS: I do not use Chinese nor understand Chinese. I can only guess some
of it just like English speaking people can guess some French text by
using borrowed words.

I think utf-8 locale may be the reason here.
To the OP: what viewer are you using to see the ps file?
I have seen that some unicode fonts are not shown properly in gv. It has
something to do with gs not being able to deal with unicode fonts
properly. For example, if I export an odf document containing some
unicode fonts to a ps file, gv shown boxes in their places. But if I
export the same file to a PDF file, the fonts are shown properly.
I would very interested in knowing how gs is made to understand unicode.

Within Emacs, if I use the package
http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/emacs/htmlize.el
I obtain an HTML file, that firefox will convert into ps and pdf format. Then,
gv correctly displays the chinese characters. The problem only occurs when I
want the ps file directly from the text file using Emacs. This means that it's
not a matter of fonts installed in my system, doesn't it?

It is Cmap file issue.
Lenny release failed to transition Cmap file to new one. So depending
on package, you need to have different ones.
