Sonata doesn't show kanji/kana.

I have a problem with Sonata. On my desktop PC I've never had problems displaying kanji in the lyrics, but on my notebook - that's another story... They all show up like... some strange symbols "‚ ã —å "...
The only difference is that my desktop runs i686 and my notebook x86-64 (and I suppose that the desktop has more fonts installed, since I didn't have enough time to install everything on my notebook before I went on my vacation).

Make sure you have one of the ttf-arphic fonts installed.

Well... installed both packages - ttf-arphic-ukai and ttf-arphic-uming, but after I restarted Sonata - no difference at all... maybe I need to restart X...
Will try that later...

EDIT: Even without those fonts kanji/kana display fine in xchat IRC

Hm... this is strange. On my x86_64 box, Sonata displays Japanese character just fine.

Restarting the X (in my case the machine) shows no changes... Any Ideas?
