I still don’t have any idea why,

I remember that I used to be able to influence the fonts used by skype
with /usr/bin/qtconfig. But somehow that doesn’t work now, it always
uses ipagp.otf:

mike@kawasemi:~$ grep fonts /proc/$(pidof skype)/maps
f71e0000-f7557000 r-xp 00000000 08:03 2629651 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ipagp.otf
mike@kawasemi:~$

Maybe it doesn’t work because I am using a statically built skype on a
64bit system.

The only workaround I found so far is starting it in a different locale:

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 skype 

Usually I use ja_JP.UTF-8 and fc-match gives ipagp.otf on my system in
Japanese locale:

mike@kawasemi:~$ fc-match
ipagp.otf: "IPAPGothic" "Regular"
mike@kawasemi:~$
