download
http://apt.debian.org.tw/pool/t/ttf-arphic-ukai/ttf-arphic-ukai_0.1.20060108.orig.tar.gz

and inside that package is ukai.ttf replace the file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/ukai.ttf
with the one in the downloaded package.

From a terminal window:
tar xzvf ttf-arphic-ukai_0.1.20060108.orig.tar.gz sudo cp ttf-arphic-ukai-0.1.20060108/ukai.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/
