This appears to be because fontconfig prefers the Chinese fonts due to the
larger number of glyphs available.
This seems to be along the same lines: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222228
I have had luck working around this by using the following ~/.fonts.config:
<fontconfig>
<match target="pattern" >
<test name="family" qual="any" >
<string>sans-serif</string>
</test>
<edit binding="strong" mode="prepend" name="family" >
<string>DejaVu Sans</string>
<string>Bitstream Vera Sans</string>
<string>VL PGothic</string>
<string>Kochi Gothic</string>
<string>IPAMonaPGothic</string>
<string>IPAPGothic</string>
<string>Sazanami Gothic</string>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="pattern" >
<test name="family" qual="any" >
<string>serif</string>
</test>
<edit binding="strong" mode="prepend" name="family" >
<string>DejaVu Serif</string>
<string>Bitstream Vera Serif</string>
<string>Kochi Mincho</string>
<string>IPAMonaPMincho</string>
<string>IPAPMincho</string>
<string>Sazanami Mincho</string>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="pattern" >
<test name="family" qual="any" >
<string>monospace</string>
</test>
<edit binding="strong" mode="prepend" name="family" >
<string>DejaVuSans Mono</string>
<string>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</string>
<string>VL Gothic</string>
<string>Kochi Gothic</string>
<string>IPAMonaGothic</string>
<string>IPAGothic</string>
<string>Sazanami Gothic</string>
</edit>
</match>
<dir>/home/doug/.fontmatrix</dir>
