I think, but I am not sure, that mousepad is in there because it is
small and doesn't have a lot of dependencies. So it fits small
footprint installs.
Can't imagine any other reason for including it.

Odd. I haven't seen that with gedit, neither in English nor Japanese sessions.
Default fonts issue maybe?
I've been looking at geany, and it looks interesting functionally, but
I'm not at all sold on it. Don't like lots of tool panes all over.
It's part of the reason I can't quite bring myself to use either
netbeans or eclipse regularly.
gedit works well enough for me, even though I pretty much keep gnome
off my system.
