The Ming fonts were definitely too big to fit on the root "/" filesystem, so that may be why your iLiad hung.
The European iLiad's do now have a Chinese font, but I'm not sure what characters it covers. All the other fonts on the iLiad seem to be open source, if the Chinese one is also then it should be possible to find and copy them to your iLiad manually.
You should be able to download the Ming font (say) to any of the file systems that can be exported via USB. Create a directory fonts and put the .ttf file in it. Even the internal memory exported file system should be big enough (unless you have a huge number of documents there). This does not work with FBReader, but ericshliao reports it works for contentlister and html.
