The problem does not exist if fonts-wqy-microhei is installed, and fonts-wqy-zenhei and fonts-droid are both uninstalled.
I could also try a 14.04 LiveCD today to check if a "fresh system" has the same problem. Also, would it make sense to reinstall fonts-droid and try if I have the problem with a Chinese language locale? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1334495 Title: Two different fonts mixed to display Chinese text in all desktop applications Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “fonts-droid” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Bug: In all desktop applications, two different fonts are mixed to display Chinese text. I attached a screenshot of a paragraph of Chinese text in Kmail - some characters are displayed using a "italic" font, others in a "normal" font. The same problem exists in other applications, for example Dolphin or even Konsole. In Xterm, only the "normal" characters are displayed, where Dolphin displays italic characters Xterm leaves a white space. Websites are displayed fine, if I open the same mail in the web interface only one font is used. Background I' am using Kubuntu 14.04 with the language set to German in KDE settings. The output of "locale" looks a bit messed up, I don't know why, as in the KDE settings all formats are consistently set to German standard. "locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de:en:zh:en LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=zh_CN.UTF-8 LC_TIME=zh_CN.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=zh_CN.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=zh_CN.UTF-8 LC_NAME=zh_CN.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=zh_CN.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=zh_CN.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=zh_CN.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=zh_CN.UTF-8 LC_ALL= " fc-match: »DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"« This is my first bug filed at launchpad. I filed it for language-selector as other related bugs I found were filed for the same package. If it isn't language-selector, perhaps you can point me to the right package?
