Bug#655114: iceweasel should recommend font packages providing fonts with non-western characters

Package: iceweasel
Version: 9.0.1-1
Severity: minor
By default, font rendering can be ugly or even incorrect (e.g. when
underline is used) on pages with a non-western language (Japanese,
Korean...) or encoding, even when this concerns ASCII characters
(sometimes such pages are incorrect, but not always, in particular
when mixed languages are used and/or when non-western text, like
people's names, is written with western characters). In any case,
Iceweasel should be able to render such text correctly.
One solution can be smarter font selection; this is bug 351259.
Another solution is to have the needed fonts installed (the subject
of this bug report). So, Iceweasel should recommend a complete
Unicode font.
Note: I had ttf-dejavu already installed, but this is not sufficient
(or there is a bug in fontconfig, as it was not selected).
