font smoothing

[Hiroshima]

I've had the same problem with Japanese fonts, and I tried to follow the
adive here.  dpkg-reconfigure didn't change anything when I turned off
autohinting.  

I　looked for /etc/fonts/local.conf, but there was no local.conf
file in the fonts directory... any help?  I'm using 5.10 breezy.  Also,
how can I tell if I have scim?  third, it automatically turns into
Japanese sometimes when I'm typing in English... any ideas why?

Thank you,

Hiroshima
