If fc-list shows the font installed, then it has nothing to do with your "ln " command. It may be individual app's problem, not the problem of font installation. The problem should be that the app you are using does not get correct font from X. For example, the official txt viewer and html viewer does not display national glyphs, such as Chinese, even with proper font installed.
