Since the "bold bleeding" is the only problem, I think 2 fonts is enough.
@sHiN3

if you can ssh to your Kindle, you don't really need to use fonthack to change the Chinese fonts. What you can do is to create a Chinese fontconfig under /etc/fonts/conf.d/ and place your Chinese fonts under /mnt/us/ and ln them to /usr/share/fonts/.

as for "bold bleeding", the problem can be resolved by installing the freetype font engine available on post #117
. but please note the side effect on English condensed font setting. please see post #131.
