4.4.2.1. ਹਾਨ ਯੂਨੀਫਿਕੇਸ਼ਨ ਲਈ ਡਿਫਾਲਟ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ
When GTK-based applications are not running in a Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (CJK) locale, Chinese characters (that is, Chinese Hanzi, Japanese Kanji, or Korean Hanja) may render with a mixture of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts depending on the text. This happens when Pango does not have sufficient context to know which language is being used, due to the Han unification in Unicode. The current default font configuration seems to prefer Chinese fonts. If you normally want to use Japanese or Korean say, you can tell Pango to use it by default by setting the
PANGO_LANGUAGE
environment variable. For example...
export PANGO_LANGUAGE=ja
...tells Pango rendering to assume Japanese text when it has no other indications.
