I think it's just only a font configuration problem.
Japanese characters have already shown in my environment.

Try to replace C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc 
to a sample below.
#Change the path where you installed it by yourself.

---------------------------------------

style "wimp-default"
{
  GtkWidget::interior_focus = 1
  GtkOptionMenu::indicator_size = { 9, 5 }
  GtkOptionMenu::indicator_spacing = { 7, 5, 2, 2 }
  GtkMenuBar::shadow-type = etched-in
  GtkToolBar::shadow-type = etched-in
  GtkHandleBox::shadow-type = none
  GtkSpinButton::shadow-type = in

  GtkTreeView::allow-rules = 0
  GtkTreeView::expander_size = 11

  engine "wimp" 
  {
  }
}

class "GtkWidget" style "wimp-default"

style "user-font"
{
  font_name="MingLiU 10"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

---------------------------------------

I don't have a knowledge about chinese font. 
Try some font name which are installed to your environment by yourself.

I can understand your fraustration, because I'm japanese.
But I think it's a chance for you to be a pioneer.
Please make efforts to do anything ;).
