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.
