Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

At this moment, gnome-font-viewer uses "The quick brown fox jumps over
the lazy dog" as the sample text for all fonts. This however is an awful
implementation for CJK-oriented fonts, because for these fonts, what the
user would like to see are the Chinese characters/Japanese kanas/Korean
hanguls part of the content, not Roman alphabets. In some CJK fonts that
have their contents exclusively on Chinese characters/Japanese
kanas/Korean hanguls, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
sample text simply appears as a bunch of black blocks (see attached
picture). This is nowhere helpful for the user to preview the font's
content.
