Ah, excellent! Can you add this to the sans-serif and "WenQuanYi Micro
Hei Mono" to the monospace section too? If that all fixes it then I will
upload a new ttf-wqy-microhei to my PPA next week that you can test
after settings 65-nonlatin back to the default. (I'd prefer to change
this and not fontconfig's default is possible, but doing that is fine as
a fallback).

Thanks for your testing. :-)

Cheers,

Title:
  ja/zh fontconfig configuration only applied when locale is set
  'natively'

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When I try to use "fontconfig-voodoo" in Ubuntu 12.10 from terminal,
  it told me:

      The program 'fontconfig-voodoo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
      sudo apt-get install language-selector-common

  Actually, I have language-selector-common package installed in my
  Ubuntu.

  Where is fontconfig-voodoo? Without it, I can't config the correct
  Chinese fonts under English locale.

  Thanks.
