you need to install ttf-kochi-gothic and ttf-kochi-mincho
and append the following line to your .xftconfig or
XftConfig:
dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi"

match any family == "Sans" edit family += "Kochi Gothic";
match any family == "Serif" edit family += "Kochi Mincho";
match any family == "Monospace" edit family += "Kochi Gothic";

and runs xftcache.
and runs G2 with the environment value as GDK_USE_XFT=1. for
example,

$ export GDK_USE_XFT=1
$ startx

It should works.
