 Is this really a duplicate? His post talks about a failure to render the
 pages at all (which I saw in Baidu) while mine talks about a failure to
 actually render the text.

 If you had checked, Google in Chinese is sending its text in UTF-8. It is
 rendering as empty boxes, not garbage. The empty boxes show it is
 processing the UTF-8 but not finding matching glyphs. This is strange,
 because I configured WebPositive to use the same Chinese fonts that work
 in Tracker and BeZilla.

 That is why I believe this is a webkit error and not a WebPositive error:
 it is the same issue I have seen in Midori and Epiphany.
