I used to use abiword but found out it's just too buggy and the
development seems slow. It crashes most of the time. And now I have
come back to openoffice to open .doc files.

Anyway, regarding the fonts, try renaming simsun.ttc to simsun.ttf and
abiword will recognize it. You may need to run "fc-cache -f".
