Those appear to be bitmap fonts; can you tell us exactly which font that is? In any case, bitmap fonts should DIE DIE DIE.

Our default font (uming.ttf but not ukai.ttf) should has bitmap fonts in it. the problem is in a commercial font you use. if they don't have, outlined font is just used. that's it.
Now there is a GPL'ed CJK font¹ that has actually been in Debian for a while. Hope it could make it into FC and be standardized as the default CJK font.
You may also be able to tune and/or turn off antialiasing of the fonts. That may help this situation. Go to System->Preferences->Fonts and see what you can do.
