In the TCC Fonts module by default the fonts are labelled simply as "serif" and "sans-serif", instead of concrete font names. How can I learn which exact fonts are being used? Bonus question: and how can I add support for Chinese signs to these fonts? Japanese seems to work fine, but some Chinese signs show up as crossed boxes.

Have you installed the chinese xfonts and/or ttf fonts?

I believe I have. At least Firefox has no problem displaying Chinese text. For example, playing a YT video with Chinese title, the title shows correctly in the browser but incorrectly in the window title on the task bar.

Hm .. I have these fonts installed and the window title renders correctly:
fonts-freefont-ttf ttf-ancient-fonts ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-engadget ttf-mscorefonts-installer ttf-sjfonts ttf-staypuft ttf-summersby ttf-unifont ttf-xfree86-nonfree xfonts-100dpi-transcoded xfonts-75dpi-transcoded xfonts-base xfonts-cyrillic xfonts-encodings xfonts-terminus xfonts-traditional xfonts-unifont xfonts-utils
Window title font is "Terminus 10" from xfonts-terminus and I have bitmapped fonts enabled.

fc-match serif
DroidSerif-Regular.ttf: "Droid Serif" "Regular"
fc-match sans-serif
DroidSans.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"
fc-match monospace
DroidSansMono.ttf: "Droid Sans Mono" "Regular"
fc-match serif
That's what I was looking for. Thanks!

I get the full font names in TCC, so there may be something odd with your setup (or it's a recent regression).
As for the other, you probably don't have a Chinese font (as opposed to a Japanese font, which won't contain all the characters used in Chinese) installed. The one I used is described by my distro as "WenQuanYi Hei-Ti Style (sans-serif) Chinese outline font", has a package name of wqy-zenhei, and has a (Chinese-language) homepage with downloads at http://wenq.org/wqy2/index.cgi?ZenHei .

package name of wqy-zenhei
Spot-on. I installed fonts-wqy-zenhei and now everything works as expected. Thanks!
