I actually looked at this thread
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/36761)
because simply turning the default language sacrifices the font smoothing or
font rendering.
What I did was, I created ~/.fonts.conf as mentioned above by copying
69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf.
Not that anyone cares, but without the "fontconfig-voodoo -f -s ja_JP"
fix, this continues to happen in Ubuntu 8.10.

Just in case anyone ever comes around to be looking for a solution to
display Japanese and German properly while retaining Chinese fonts on
their system, here is what I did. So far, it works quite nicely for me.

Hi Arne,
thanks so much for the comment! You are absolutely right, deinstalling the
Chinese fonts is just a workaround.
For the moment at least it works. :-)
Indeed I had a look at the documentation of this XML format that time, but I
thought this takes at least 1-2 hours reading the docs. I und
Thomas,
it's not the fonts which cause these issues, it's the fontconfig
configuration on your system, which prefers certain fonts over others in
specific situations. As the ja_JP setting in fontconfig-voodoo is
optimized for Japanese users who do not use extended Latin characters,
this is indeed
Ok I answered my own question:
I just tried myself. I removed all fonts that look like Chinese font. As
written above, I also removed the fontconfig setting with "fontconfig-voodoo -f
-r", not it looks better with Japanese and German.
I set the status back... Have a nice day!

Hi Arne Goetje,
I was happy the "fontconfig-voodoo -f -s ja_JP" worked for me first. However
then I notice that the German Umlaute: (ÜÖÄßüöä) doesn't work any more.
Is there a way to tweak the system to display German and Japanese character
correct.
I now run "fontconfig-voodoo -f -r" to remov
closing as this is not a bug, but expected behavior (a bit annoying, I
agree, but nothing wrong with it).

It seems that you are not using ja_JP as your default locale. Therefor,
the system is switching between Chinese and Japanese fonts while typing.
This is because Pango doesn't know whether you are typing Chinese or
Japanese, as the characters (even Hiragana) are included in both font
sets, but rende
Arne, please excuse me for bluntly subscribing you to this bug. But my
research indicates you have a great deal of interest and knowledge with
regards to Asian fonts on Ubuntu. Can you help us?

I had the same problem, and doing the following fixed it for me:
$ cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
$ sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/29-language-selector-ja-jp.conf
After this you have to restart X for the new settings to take effect.

I did a complete re-install with the released 8.04 image. All I did was
enable Japanese support, including "enter complex characters" support,
and the problem was there. Screen shot attached.

I tried this:
- created a new user

- logged in as that user
- selected "Enable support to enter complex characters" under "Language

- this forced me to reboot again
- logged in again as that new user
- The problem was still there.
Well, if you can't reproduce it
What version of ubuntu are you using? My feeling tells me this is a
configuration issue. FWIW, I don't see the vertically-centering problem
here. Can you create a new user and log in as this user to see if the
problem remains the same?
