Looks like your locale doesn't include a territory; fontconfig will
select an appropriate type of character (tradtional/simplified) based on
the territory in your locale. If your territory is set to something
other than cn, hk, mo, sg or tw, then fontconfig won't know the which
type to return.

Right, it's the fontconfig-config package which contains the rules
governing font selection. I'll need you to re-run the above test
replacing the fontconfig-config package, I'm afraid. Sorry for messing
up the test.
