We met similar issues before, but it was solved after we installed the asion-font packages. Are you sure you have installed all those asion-font packages? Just FYI.

Chris,

Please make sure the image has the asian-font installed. Without it, you will see the problem. I tested it on my system and it works fine.

When you create the image, be sure to put a check mark on the asian font selection.

Steven,
We need to make sure the font package is included in the image

It appears the issue is that the build doesn't set LANG anywhere, so the system is defaulting to POSIX, which isn't a UTF8 locale. The easiest way to fix this is likely to ship an /etc/default/locale in ume-config-common that specifies some UTF8 locale (e.g. en_US.UTF8). I'll attach a patch later, unless someone is especially motivated beforehand.

The attached debdiff just ships the extra configuration file, and forces a UTF8 locale. This allows display of UTF8 characters cleanly.

Still seems broken on http://www.njstar.cn :(

Needs a change in mobile-meta in Ubuntu I guess
