The default is "sans-serif" for the desktop, which is an alias referring to a list of preferred fonts for a global desktop. Depending on how you set the list of preferred fonts, either a Chinese, Japanese or Korean font gets higher priority over the others. This is done in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ . I assume you use a non-CJK desktop, probably the default en_US locale setting according to your screenshots. For this case we cannot predict if the user wants to have a Chinese, Japanese or Korean font as preferred CJK font. You can do this choice by yourself, by using language-selector to install the Japanese language pack (I assume you have already done this) and then use fontconfig-voodoo in a terminal window to set the default CJK rendering to ja_JP. However, as font and fontconfig reshuffeling is currently going on, this might not work as expected until beta release and font rendering might be suboptimal for CJK. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHvjA7bp/QbmhdHowRAvu0AKDehC12O+yrjYR/RBh9ENUQMteT/wCgxci9 +pRHYrllFK734WCpNISM55E= =4JX3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ttf-arphic-uming causes degradation in Japanese font rendering in firefox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
