I am not using any Unicode characters.

Interesting, but probably not helpful.  Otfried's Emacs still accesses all
fonts via the Mule encoding, not via UTF8.

Your system must be quite screwed up.  I am viewing texts in all CJK
languages, simplified and not, and everything looks like it should.

Of course it is possible that Japanese fonts are chosen for some CJK
characters that look the same in all CJK locales.  But once you find that
this is a problem, you will have solved all the real problems.

In that case, you can of course create a fontset from a different spec
(witout gb2312).
