When you say that you updated, I take it that you don't have a clean
14.04 install, but upgraded from 13.10. And if that's the case, the
package carrying the previous default font for Chinese may still be
installed.

So, can you please check if the fonts-wqy-zenhei package is installed.
If it is, can you uninstall it and let us know if it makes a difference.

I ask this because I now fear that the fontconfig config files for
fonts-wqy-zenhei and fonts-droid might conflict. This is merely a guess
so far, but possibly it explains the strange mix you describe.

I see. There is no similar GUI in standard Ubuntu, and I don't know
exactly what it does, but for now I suggest that you keep testing with
"Ubuntu" selected. After all, you have a German locale.

OTOH, the intention is that Chinese contents should be rendered in a
decent way by default even if the locale is not Chinese. This was dealt
with when fixing bug 1227034.
