Japanese Team makes the Japanese characters look precisely the way I have them configured above. The problem is that if I use their release, the English characters look different and I don't like that. My .font.conf file takes both of the settings and makes the fonts appear as they should. By the

areteichi, It's probably due to DejaVu Sans being prepended at the top of the prepend list. Maybe that can be fixed. IMO it is not needed there; and maybe prepend shouldn't be used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber.

Ahmad Syukri Well, as you can see from the long duration of this bug, I had the same issue even before the Ubuntu fonts were included in Ubuntu, when DejaVu fonts were still used as the default. So while I don't know the technical details of this, I'm not exactly sure if it is just a matter of

agrueneberg and Benedikt's problem is due to embedded bitmap not disabled. Using 'sudo fontconfig-voodoo -l ja_JP' or 'sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf -t /etc/fonts/conf.d/' will remedy it. In Sancho's case, it seems the default is to select a chinese font

Any updates on this bug? It's been exactly 5 years since this bug report was first opened! (not to mention that there hasn't been any progress since...) I will post the most current version of '.fonts.conf' I use (since there have been some updates in Ubuntu for both Latin and Japanese fonts).

Yeah it is quite frustrating how little attention this problem is receiving. The only problem with the fix is that Japanese characters turn into squares in adobe flash player. I've played around with the .font.conf and the only way to avoid that is to go back to the ugly, unpolished fonts either

I'm also using both japanese and english, with the default english install. The fonts seemed to be just missing geometry in some of the more complicated kanji... I'm not a native japanese speaker, but I *think* it was just because the fonts were bad, and not a legitimate variation in the font.
