Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: skim

Kubuntu's support for East Asian language display and input is not as
easy-to-use as Ubuntu's.

For East Asian language display, Kubuntu's default Chinese font is
informal (rather than the formal font commonly used in Chinese
publications and software) and does not display all characters
correctly. I suggest that Kubuntu uses the open source Chinese font
"wenquanyi" whose homepage is http://wqy.sourceforge.net/en/

For East Asian language input, Kubuntu uses SKIM but it is not easy to
set up and configure. I ruined my SKIM that as soon as I click "Global
Setup" in its Configuration dialog box it will crash. The ideal user
experience is that the system automatically sets up commonly used input
methods and make them available in a SKIM tray icon after the user
indicates his working language during Kubuntu installation. We need such
a zero configuration treatment!
