A new "font" folder with chinese ttf files can't do any help to read chinese TXTs,
I have tested many times ago, by every possible encoding methods:GBK,UTF-8 and etc.

TXT are usually not the best choice for non-ascii contented. The problem can be either in the font or in the encoding. I would not be surprised if the encoding was hard-coded and independent from the locale. You should probably try some simple latin characters such as é â é to figure out the encoding. If UTF8 does not work then the kobo is probably using a fixed size 8-bit encoding such as ISO-8859-1 and you are out of luck.
The best for you is probably to create or to find a tool to encapsulate text files into epub. That should not be so difficult because EPUB is nothing else than a ZIP archive containing simple XML and HTML files. A quick search on Google gave me that one

but there are probably several more out there.
