I don't use ja_JP locale as default, because I'm learning Japanese as a foreign language. I have the package "language-selector" installed and already tried to switch completely to a Japanese desktop. I realized that there's a file called language-selector.conf in /etc/fonts/ (which links to /usr/share/language-selector/fontconfig/ja_JP) with everything needed to display the font nicely. Unfortunately all the other fonts began to look fuzzy, so I limited the content of the file to the Japanese language, which seems to work.

<test name="lang" compare="contains">
 <string>ja</string>
</test>

Here's the output of ls -l /etc/fonts/language-selector.conf:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 2006-03-27 18:17 /etc/fonts/language-selector.conf -> /usr/share/language-selector/fontconfig/none
