@Mitsuya Shibata: Well, yes it *affects* Japanese fonts too, but it
makes no sense that *this change* would increase the risk of picking
Chinese glyphs under a Japanese locale.
OTOH, if I start Firefox with:
env LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 firefox
the default sans-serif font for me according to FF Settings is Droid
Sans Fallback!! That might have something to do with it.
I see now that the fonts-droid-fallback package is shipped on the ISO
(did we simply forget to drop it?). So as a test, can you please
uninstall that package:
sudo apt purge fonts-droid-fallback
and let us know if it makes a difference.
In any case I think there is a need to reconsider the default font
configuation for Japanese. The
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-fonts-noto-cjk.conf file includes:
<match target="pattern">
<test name="lang">
<string>ja</string>
</test>
<test name="family">
<string>sans-serif</string>
</test>
<edit name="family" mode="prepend">
<string>Noto Sans CJK JP</string>
</edit>
</match>
while the Chinese equivalents have:
<edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">
So, Mitsuya Shibata, it would be great if you could submit a new bug
where we can focus on the Japanese font configuration. The
reconsideration would probably affect multiple packages, but language-
selector may be a proper affected package to start with.
