Comment 5 for bug 778869

Thanks for confirming that, Fumihito.

I propose that equivalent changes are merged into the Lucid and Maverick backports. Branches with the changes (links above) were uploaded to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/lang-backports), and the resulting builds have been installed and run successfully.

When working with the backports, I realized that the changes in the branch intended for Oneiric and Natty were not sufficient; while they addressed the command "fontconfig voodoo -a", the failure to set the configuration by clicking the "Apply System-Wide" button in Language Support hadn't been dealt with. I updated the branch accordingly, so now the merge proposal for Oneiric should be ok. An updated build is available at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc .

@Fumihito
Since the changes will go to lucid-backports, maverick-backports, and - hopefully - natty-proposed, your assistance with testing these new branches would be valuable.
