Thanks, Lukas. I changed the title of this bug report to reflect our
findings so far.

Yes, it would be valuable if you could confirm the issue on a fresh
install.

Yes, that would indeed make sense too. However, there is a pending fix
(bug 1335482) which might affect such a test, so to accomplish it
reliably I ask you to install the current Utopic version of the package
language-selector-common.

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179082601/language-selector-
common_0.132_all.deb

Please download that file and install it from a terminal window with

sudo dpkg -i language-selector-common_0.132_all.deb

** Summary changed:

- Two different fonts mixed to display Chinese text in all desktop applications
+ Two mixed fonts when rendering Chinese in KDE/QT apps with Droid Sans fonts

** No longer affects: fontconfig (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Two mixed fonts when rendering Chinese in KDE/QT apps with Droid Sans
  fonts

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                                                                                                         
  LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=de:en:zh:en
  LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC=zh_CN.UTF-8

  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?
