font-adobe-source-han-sans:cn works fine for me in IceCat.  Maybe you
installed an output other than =E2=80=98cn=E2=80=99?

I wrote =E2=80=9CChinese languages=E2=80=9D, plural, because, IIUC,
font-adobe-source-han-sans:cn provides glyphs for several languages in
the broad Chinese language family.

Does that make sense?

Ludo=E2=80=99.
