You should find that you don't have those gb2312.1980 fonts in your
system. Actually, I don't see any -misc-fixed-*-gb2312.1980-0 in any
popular linux distros.

And the fonts in your system cannot be scaled. That may be one of
the possible reason that you saw mis-matched Chinese text in menu, etc.


You can scale bitmap fonts in X but the result is really ugly and the
speed is slow. If you are using XFree version of X window, you should
try use a truetype font module or truetype font font server.
