English LANG + 10X as many Chinese as Japanese => who gets priority in
the default?  Usually it's not an issue -- XEmacs is smart enough to
make charset runs as long as possible -- but you've only got one
character there and no kana.

Then there's some kind of set up for including stuff, because
fontconfig really really sucks without a decent fonts.conf.  Search
for "include", there's probably a Debian-style conf.d specified.

Chinese fonts. :-)

I bet those are fonts from a Chinese foundry that claim to implement
Japanese.
