The font names have changed from AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni to AR PL UMing
{CN|HK|TW|TW MBE} and from AP PL ZenKai Uni to AR PL UKai {CN|HK|TW|TW
MBE}. Further more the fonts will contain Japanese, Korean and
Vietnamese glyph variants in future, so if we add Chinese names, we also
should add Japanese, Koren and Vietnamese names.
As I don't have any useful translated names for that (U stands for
Unicode), I removed the translated names altogether.
If anyone has suggestions for localized names, please post them here.

Thanks
Arne
