I did this (made a file called
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.all_locale.conf and
linked it into conf.d), and it seems to have done the trick. E.g.
viewing this in firefox (*):
  http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BC%9A%E7%A4%BE
it now shows the correct kanji in both title and body.

Thanks!
