I find fontconfig and CJK font selection issues in general quite confusing.) In Karmic, running firefox seems to pick a non-Japanese font for displaying Japanese web pages. (You can tell because the preferred character styles are somewhat different.) This used to work in Jaunty, but Karmic makes a worse font choice. [Details: I have LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 but also PANGO_LANGUAGE=en;ja to tell Pango to guess Japanese if it has to guess. I'll attach the result of running a firefox with FC_DEBUG=1 and looking at a sample page with problems; you can see it asking for a font with 'lang: "ja"' and getting back "WenQuanYi Zen Hei", so I don't think firefox is at fault here.] This seems to be because if we ask fontconfig for a "Sans" font for Japanese text it gives back the ttf-wqy-zenhei one instead: $ fc-match Sans:lang=ja wqy-zenhei.ttc: "WenQuanYi Zen Hei" "中等" I do have Japanese fonts installed: $ fc-list :lang=ja WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono,文泉驛等寬正黑,文泉驿等宽正黑:style=Medium,中等 Sazanami Mincho,さざなみ明朝:style=Mincho-Regular,Regular WenQuanYi Zen Hei,文泉驛正黑,文泉驿正黑:style=Medium,中等 VL PGothic,VL Pゴシック:style=regular Sazanami Gothic,さざなみゴシック:style=Gothic-Regular,Regular VL Gothic,VL ゴシック:style=regular (and if you don't ask for a Sans font you get back one of those: $ fc-match :lang=ja ttf-japanese-gothic.ttf: "VL Gothic" "regular" ) I think that if the application is asking for a font to display Japanese text in, then all Japanese fonts should be prioritised above any of the other CJK fonts...
