Chinese fonts?  I suspect you already have those...

It might not be that simple, though.  If the CD uses a different 
filename encoding than Thunar expects, the filenames won't display 
correctly.  I'm not sure how to fix that.  Is there any output on 
console?  Thunar might be complaining in a way that's useful.

Also -- if you use a File->Open dialog using another gtk app, is it able 
to display the filenames on the CD correctly?
