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.

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:
  New

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

  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?
