I finally got time to do this -- I replaced all the libraries under
lkb/lib which had equivalents on the build system with the versions on
the build system.  I tried the resulting build under Ubuntu 12, and it
still has the Asian font problem.

I haven't had a chance to try messing around with what fonts are
installed yet, because I've had a great deal of trouble getting Ubuntu
12 to run stably.  (After I update it, the Unity Shell starts
crashing, leaving me no way to launch anything under X.)
