No, unless your font is encoded with Unicode.

Most fonts are encoded in some national encodings, such as BIG5,
GB-2312, and more. You have to use the same encoding when specifying
characters in the string to the 'show' operator.

It is also possible to directly specify the glyph name using the
'glyphshow' operator. But that's tedious for showing lots of text,
and for Chinese, you'll have a hard time looking up the glyph names.
(Are the glyph 'names' in Chinese Type1 fonts generated from the
native encoding of that font?)
