It makes me afraid that breaking of X core font environment
is not only for Japanese but also for English, especially for
14pt fonts. Taking a glance on gtkrc bundled to gtk+- 1.2.x,
it seems that ja, ka, vi are using 14pt fonts by default.

Then, try following fontset.

I dig new directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/japanese/ and puts
various Japanese PCF fonts to there. I'm not sure if install
scripts update properly your X core font environment to use them.
