Era,
Thank you for responding. however, how do I determine which font is broken?
For example, in Firefox, I have my default font set to "Meiryo UI", which is a Microsoft font I know works. However, web pages set their own fonts, and so sometimes when it uses my default things display correctly, but other times, when they choose their own fonts, things go awry.
From what I can tell, when a web site or or program uses the Ubuntu default "Sans Serif", or any font that is only English characters, the system selects some default that is broken. But I don't know what that font is.
For my systen font, I use the "Ubuntu" font, and there doesn't seem to be an option to select a default font for Japanese in particular.
In LibreOffice, when I specifically select any known working font, then things are fine. However, if the applied font is not a Japanese font, then Japanese characters default to the broken font.
In all these cases, I can't tell where this broken font is being selected from.
Please let me know how I can reliably determine where the default broken font is coming from, and I will provide the names.
