  Expected results:

     see: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/45734891/LC_ALL_set___ja_JP.UTF-8.png

  Supplementary info:
     If you set LC_ALL env variables, ubiquity will select valid font set.
      1) type: Alt + F2
      2) Type below in "Run Application"
      /bin/sh -c 'LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 ubiquity'
      3) You will see valid font sets.

  Notes:
     Traditional/Simplified Chinese and Japanese have same Kanji characters, but
     they not use same variant, so fonts are not same.

     This confusing is something odd, like mistake Ä for A.
