I have Midori Browser installed in Arch, and also on the wife's laptop running Mint. In Mint, it defaulted to the right bitmapped font (wenquan zenhei), as did all my other programs in Arch. However if I load a page with Chinese characters in Midori on Arch, it freezes for a few minutes and then displays the page with what appears to be an ancient fixed-misc font. This font is worse than horrible.
I haven't been able to find the answer in either the Midori or Webkit websites.
Thanks a load for any help, it's driving me nuts!

Mint is based on Ubuntu, which has great, heavily-patched font packages. See the *-ubuntu packages in the AUR.
Also try turning embeddedbitmap off - see example in my config.
So, I expect the answer lies in your fontconfig rules, or Ubuntu's patches, or the fonts you have installed. However, I don't have an explanation for your freezing.

Even though Chromium, abiword, and everything else automatically defaulted to wenquan once I installed it? Why only Midori doesn't use it?

ok, I just followed the font configuration wiki and disabled bitmap fonts. All clear! joy!
