Thanks for the additional information. It indicates that qt based
applications don't play well with fontconfig.

However:

Which font settings are those? Is it possibly something KDE specific
that overrides fontconfig for KDE apps? If so, is there possibly a way
to change them to 'neutral' values?

In 14.04 the default font for rendering Chinese was changed from
WenQuanYi Zen Hei to Droid Sans. This might have something to do with
it.

It's still not clear to me which packages are affected, but I added a
few candidates so this bug report gets more attention.

** Package changed: language-selector (Ubuntu) => fontconfig (Ubuntu)

** Also affects: fonts-droid (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Two different fonts mixed to display Chinese text in all desktop
  applications

Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “fonts-droid” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Bug:
  In all desktop applications, two different fonts are mixed to display Chinese text. I attached a screenshot of a paragraph of Chinese text in Kmail - some characters are displayed using a "italic" font, others in a "normal" font. The same problem exists in other applications, for example Dolphin or even Konsole. In Xterm, only the "normal" characters are displayed, where Dolphin displays italic characters Xterm leaves a white space. Websites are displayed fine, if I open the same mail in the web interface only one font is used.

  Background

  I' am using Kubuntu 14.04 with the language set to German in KDE settings.
  The output of "locale" looks a bit messed up, I don't know why, as in the KDE settings all formats are consistently set to German standard. 
  "locale                                                                                                         
  LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=de:en:zh:en

  This is my first bug filed at launchpad. I filed it for language-selector as other related bugs I found were filed for the same package. If it isn't language-selector, perhaps you can point me to the right package?
