Not on my machine. Some ugly font with extrem serifs is used. :(
You cannot customize the fontset via an X ressource, because the
unicode-* charsets are not yet loaded.  But there's a simple way to
incorporate your favorite Unicode font into an already exsting fontset:

(set-fontset-font 
 "-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-etl"
 'unicode-wide "-gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1")
(set-fontset-font 
 "-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-etl"
 'unicode-mono "-gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1")

(The first parameter is the fontset name.)

Otfried Cheong's package chooses a Japanese font for some Chinese
characters.  Is it possible to force it to prefer the Simplified
Chinese ones instead?
