1. Navigate to "Get Software" > "Fonts" > "Japanese OpenType font set, IPAfont".
2. Choose "More Info".
3. Scroll to the bottom.

What you see: "Canonical does not provide updates for . Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
What you should see: "Canonical does not provide updates for Japanese OpenType font set, IPAfont. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."

This string should be using the same title function as the fix for bug 537436 should use.
