I just installed Fedora and I’m trying to figure out how to make it display Japanese fonts, by default it displays kanji as Chinese characters, I installed some fonts but still no change, how do I change this?
Most cases will be solved with these settings (but some applications may need additional tweeks):
- Use
ja_JP.UTF-8locale, or - Use
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
I was trying to do that but I’m unsure what to edit to do that, since most tutorials are using either a Debian based or Arch distro.
I was using a similar guide, and it also talked about the locale.gen, but that file was never to be found, I just searched a bit more into that and this popped up. So it seems Fedora handles things differently, but now I’m unsure what commands to execute since I’m not sure the ones in that thread are also valid for me.
- Use
There’s a guide here to show Japanese fonts by default and also how to configure your browser to show Japanese fonts by default.

you can you this as a reference https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Localization/Simplified_Chinese#Chinese_characters_displayed_as_variant_(Japanese)_glyphs . although it is for chinese, but you can take the font config of it and reorder it (put
Noto Sans CJK JPat first)
