Ok, with that we know that the fontconfig settings make a difference also for KDE/QT apps. > I also installed Kubuntu 14.04 with German locale in a virtual > machine and applied all updates.

Hmm.. I have a test installation of Kubuntu which I upgraded to try to reproduce the problem. I couldn't. Sure, if I uninstalled fonts-droid, those squares showed up when viewing a piece of Chinese text with Kate, but with fonts-droid the text seemed to be rendered normally. (Please see attachment.) So I can't help wondering if fonts-droid was installed when you tested on your VM. Another thing struck me: The list of Droid fonts at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/178980889/select%20system%20font.png is much shorter than the list I saw in the font select window (see attachment). Especially I miss Droid Sans Fallback, which is essential for CJK languages. Can you please ensure that the fonts-droid package is completely installed on your existing installation by running sudo apt-get install --reinstall fonts-droid Can you also post the output of the command fc-match -a 'sans-serif' ** Attachment added: "fonts-droid-tests.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-droid/+bug/1334495/+attachment/4153498/+files/fonts-droid-tests.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1334495 Title: Two mixed fonts when rendering Chinese in KDE/QT apps with Droid Sans fonts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-droid/+bug/1334495/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
