Setting locale is actually enough. If that's not desired, $PANGO_LANGUAGE can be set as a fallback. So far seems like most of the issues happen because either the users are not setting locale correctly or are using crappy fonts. How do I don't care enough about those cases I'm not surprised.

Excuse me, PANGO_LANGUAGE is the solution to modify the Pango's behaviour that Qianqian & Abel ask for fix?

It's a way to tell Pango which of the CJK languages to prefer. It's main use is when running under non-CJK locale (en_US for example) and the text doesn't have language tags. It solves most of the "multiple fonts used in the same line" issues with CJK characters.
