[XeTeX] Problem displaying Chinese font with \newfontfamily

[Andy Lin]

You'll want to check out the other thread related to xecjk from this
month. In essence, xecjk overrides fontspec mechanisms for font
selection, so you'll need to do something like:

\setCJKfamilyfont{sungtiGBfamily}{AR PL SungtiL GB}
\newcommand{\sungtiGB}[1]{{\CJKfamily{sungtiGBfamily}#1}}
