Ah, I see the problem...

Looking at the source of the wiki.ubuntu.com page, it reveals, that the body 
text is tagged with lang=en and not lang=ja.
So, the real bug is that the wiki page does not use the correct language tag. 
Fontconfig is not to blame here.

Now the question is (and this needs to be discussed with the community), how to 
handle such cases.
The fontconfig way, to filter by language tag, does not work with such 
webpages. Removing the language tag filter, like the proposed patch does it, 
would mean, that the current fontconfig-voodoo hack would be needed forever and 
that there is no way to get a generic fontconfig configuration that works for 
everyone.

The proper fix (IMHO) would be to ask the sysadmins to make
wiki.ubuntu.com support all available languages, so that we can use tags
like '##language:ja' (old) or '#language ja' (new) in the wiki page to
indicate that it should be rendered differently.
