I have the same problem like Michael with all fonts other than "Sans serif", "Serif" or "Monospace", which have specific name. And my locale is en_US.UTF-8 currently.
Actually the problem is quite like in Edgy: you _have to_ use qtconfig to assign Chinese font for those "specific" fonts, like Bitstream Vera Sans, Luxi Sans, Verdana, etc. because qt apps will not use settings in any fontconfig files for these fonts. Well, I don't remeber in Edgy if qt apps conform the rules in fontconfig for "Sans serf", "Serif" and "Monospace". -- QT program doesn't select Chinese font correctly https://launchpad.net/bugs/94282 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
