Comment (by QuLogic):

 Replying to [comment:30 daeboe]:
 > I can read Chinese at the very least, and tell the differences between
 the Japanese and Korean characters. If you need any help or whatnot, just
 let me know. I'd be glad to explain to you what looks "correct" in those
 terms. But personally, I'd say just download all the fonts or character
 sets, and get support for those fonts. Pretty much just release a font
 package for Pidgin.

 No, I doubt there would be a font package for Pidgin. The relevant fonts
 would need to be installed from official language packs (and presumably
 have already been installed, anyway). Datallah would just do as he said:

 > The fix is going to involve adding more fonts (that contain the
 appropriate unicode glyphs) to `pango.aliases`.
