[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 673997] [NEW] Non latin fonts displayed in applications. Fonts substitution error.

[cablop]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mono

When an application is being run we expect to be able to see the non-latin characters like CJK ones.
What happens is they're being shown as empty boxes|squares.

My Ubuntu version is Maverick and i'm using the default mono and winforms packages:
- libmono2.0-cil 2.6.7-3ubuntu1
- libmono-winforms2.0-cil 2.6.7-3ubuntu1

Afaik the problem is related to WinForms or to Ubuntu itself.
Someone addressed this as an issue in thaifonts-scalable package. But as long as i'm not using that package and that issue is fixed for maverick, this is not the same bug. File /etc/fonts/conf.avail/89-ttf-thai-tlwg-synthetic.conf is not even present.

How to reproduce the issue. Lanch a mono application, like KeePass2 and
type in the search box a CJK text or paste one like 我 (for chinese) or
私、わたし (for japanese). They're instantly shown as empty boxes.
