Bug Description
When including CJK characters in text where the Ubuntu font is used, such as filenames in Nautilus file manager in gnome, and other places, the CJK characters are not rendered with anti aliasing enabled.
Screenshot of font-manager displaying the combination of CJK characters and western using the Ubuntu font: http://
and a screenshot of the same text but using another font where CJK characters are displayed more beautifully: http://
I have tested with Ubuntu 10.10 (upgraded from 10.04).

Ubuntu Font Family simply doesn't cover CJK and what you see is another font. Here you can see the UFF coverage: https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Ubuntu% 20Font% 20Family# Coverage
If you want to request coverage for CJK script, see here: https:/ /launchpad. net/ubuntu- font-family/ +milestone/ later
PS. FreeSans covers CJK.
