It turns out it is rather simple to fix this: In <top>/etc/pango,
create a file pango.aliases containing the lines:

sans = sans
sans += "mingliu"

Thanks to Hans Breuer for the info.

I think MingLiU is a Traditional Chinese font? If not, replace with
whatever font you want to use. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be
possible to specify locale-specific settings in the pango.aliases
file.
