Title:
  gnome-font-viewer default text not visible in all fonts

Status in “gnome-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  At this moment, gnome-font-viewer uses "The quick brown fox jumps over
  the lazy dog" as the sample text for all fonts. This however is an
  awful implementation for CJK-oriented fonts, because for these fonts,
  what the user would like to see are the Chinese characters/Japanese
  kanas/Korean hanguls part of the content, not Roman alphabets. In some
  CJK fonts that have their contents exclusively on Chinese
  characters/Japanese kanas/Korean hanguls, "The quick brown fox jumps
  over the lazy dog" sample text simply appears as a bunch of black
  blocks (see attached picture). This is nowhere helpful for the user to
  preview the font's content.
