It is fixed in SuSE Linux 9.3 (I attach fontconfig.SuSE.properties
from SuSE Linux 9.3 for you to check).

Not yet, but I will do that for the next version of SuSE Linux.  I
cannot use xlsfonts for that purpose because there may be no X-Display
accessible when SuSEconfig is running.  I will probably use "fc-match"
to find out the "best" fonts for Japanese, then get the filenames with
"fc-list family-name file" and retrieve the XLFD from the fonts.dir in
the directory where the font file is.
