That's probably a 'real' bug :-) and may likely point to overflow
problems when calculating values. Can you perhaps send a sample data
file to gnucash-devel together with a step-by-step description to
reproduce that problem? The easier it is for developers to see that too,
the more likely this is going to be fixed soon.

Err... same problem here: None of the active developers is using
Japanese fonts. Yes, report display and register display use two
different sets of fonts. Also, textual reports (in HTML, e.g. balance
sheet) and graphical reports (e.g. asset pie chart) are again two
different issues; which ones do you mean? Again, if you can provide
step-by-step instructions how to see that error (LANG settings etc) then
we can get to it quite easily.
