Some random ideas:
- the xfonts-ideas-japanese seem to be bitmapped fonts. These
won't be available to Konqueror (or any other app using
fontconfig, as any KDE3 or Gnome2 apps) unless font config is
configured to offer bitmap fonts to apps [dpkg-reconfigure
fontconfig].
- even if fontconfig offers them, I *think* you must tell
konqueror to use them. I mean, IIRC Pango uses other fonts
than the configured fonts when the second lack some needed
characters; it goes and figures which other fonts can provide
them, I figure. OTOH, I think I've heard QT isn't capable of
this.
I am pretty sure wrt to the first point, but take the second one
with caution. It'd be nice if someone could confirm or deny it with
more first-hand knowledge.
Cheers.
