Hmm, you're right it does... but it also matches :lang=zh ... the debian
package (ttf-wqy-zenhei) description says:
"WenQuanYi Zen Hei" A Hei-Ti Style (sans-serif) Chinese font
The reason I don't want it is because some of the glyphs look "weird",
e.g., $B2=(B and address@hidden(B (not entirely unrecognizable, just ...
"weird").
It doesn't seem like a good default for japanese text to me.
The debian description also says:
This font provides full coverage of GBK (CP936) charset, CJK Unified
Ideographs, as well as the code-points needed for zh_CN, zh_SG,
zh_TW, zh_HK, zh_MO, ja (Japanese) and ko (Korean) locales for
fontconfig.
I guess it's the coverage which is why it matches :lang=ja (it also
matches :lang=zh, whereas the various japanese fonts I have installed
don't).
What does :lang really mean, anyway?
I guess for now I'll just un-install the font package, but I wonder if
this is something that needs addressing somehow?
