I thought that chinese-py-b5 produced Big5 characters, whereas the
above font specification uses GB2312 characters.  Doesn't that explain
why you don't see the characters?  Or am I mistaken?

If you go to one of the empty boxes and type "C-u C-x =", what does
Emacs tell you about the character it cannot display?
