I'm sure it's possible; I just made an attempt.

In 13.10 ttf-wqy-zenhei was installed if you installed a Chinese language. ttf-wqy-zenhei is not installed automatically in 14.04 (it was replaced by fonts-droid).

The ttf-wqy-zenhei package includes the fontconfig recipe
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/64-wqy-zenhei.conf, while the fonts-droid equivalent /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-droid-sans-fonts.conf is quite different.

So I prepared a change of fonts-droid where I added a recipe with 64-wqy-zenhei.conf as a model. The modified fonts-droid package is available in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc

Can you please install fonts-droid from my PPA and let us know if it makes a difference?
