Not exactly, but I've posted patches that do it properly (in general, they
use gdk_fontset_load, but they compose fontset from 2 fonts).

That pieces are definitely in
http://www.hippo.ru/~hvv/abiword/cjk-patch-add.diff
I don't think that those pieces (with fontset_load) are in
next-cjk-patch.diff
Extract manually diffs for src/af/xap/unix/xap_UnixFont.cpp and apply them
and you should be set.
Sorry I can't do this for you - I will have free time 6 hours later.
Please report results.

I know the fix for it (andc posted in as attachment to mail to Belcon) - that
was patch to
ie_exp_RTF*.cpp
Unfortunately Belcon refuses to tell whether applying it fixes that problem
of exporting RTFs:)
