CJK font antianiasing weirdness with Dapper

[Jan Moren]

After upgrading to Dapper (great improvements all over, by the way!),
there is a very irritating font issue.

In most programs, when writing in Japanese, the Japanse font used is not
antialiased anymore. The exception here is gnome-terminal, which seems
to map to a different font that gets it right.

But now I'm at a bit of a loss. I hven't been able to figure out how or
where it is decided which font to use when writing Japanese, and I have
no idea what gnome-terminal does different from other apps (this is true
whether gnome-terminal is set to use the system default or some other
font, and irrespective of font size).

It may sound like a silly problem, but unantialiased kanji is downright
painful for me to read, so I'd really like to get to the bottom of this.
