The new BetaTester pack works as expected.

As I know, tt0003m_.ttf (Swis721 BT Roman) is used to render menu, bookinfo and BBeB content. tt0011m_.ttf (Dutch801 Rm BT Roman) is used to render txt. We used to replace these two fonts with Chinese font (with the same font name) to support Chinese, so we can make Chinese books with existed tools. Usually we replace these two fonts to a sans and a sans-serif font at the same time to display title and text in difference fonts.

It's much easier for epub format, because we can used a style file to override default settings.

From Valloric's "*VERY* detailed guide on changing default Reader fonts", we should modify the font name to match the original ones. So if only one Chinese font can be included, it should be tt0003m_.ttf instead of tt0011m_.ttf. As a result, we would lost the ability to read Chinese txt and some books reference to tt0011m_.ttf. Then we have to replace those fonts again.
