Comment(by thezest):

 The following is my solution to display Chinese characters (conversation
 window, incoming/outgoing messages, buddy status, buddy list, etc.) on my
 Windows XP:[[BR]]

 1. Go to '''Pidgin''' -> '''Preferences''' -> '''Converstations''', choose
 a '''Conversation font''' which supports your character. In my case, it is
 Tahoma.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 2. Right-click on the Windows desktop area, choose '''Properties''', then
 click on the '''Appearance''' tab, and '''Advanced''' button.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 3. Under the '''Item''' dropdown list, change all the items that support
 '''Font''' to the one defined in Pidgin. In my case it is Tahoma.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 4. Apply the settings and look at your Pidgin window, it should take
 effect immediately.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 Hope the above helps.
