    LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
    LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_MONETARY="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_MESSAGES="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="ja_JP.UTF-8"

In German locale it works:

    mfabian@shannon:~$ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 konsole
    kbuildsycoca running...
    mfabian@shannon:~$

The problem happens on i386 and x86_64, i.e it doesn't seem to be
architecture dependent.
Comment 1 Dirk Mueller 2006-01-03 11:57:15 UTC 
is this after the libXft fix we did yesterday? Qt3 still uses libXft.
Comment 2 Mike Fabian 2006-01-03 12:57:50 UTC 
Happens before *and* after the libXft fix we did yesterday.
Comment 3 Lubos Lunak 2006-01-03 13:53:28 UTC 
That's very likely this: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2006-January/001848.html . Either apply the patch or simply update whole fontconfig, that should take care of it.
Comment 4 Mike Fabian 2006-01-03 15:00:59 UTC 
Yes, indeed, updating fontconfig to the latest CVS (2.4 branch)
helps. Thank you!

Submitted to STABLE.

Closing as FIXED.
