What makes a difference is the value of "ja" (for Japanese) in the field for additional typographic styles. This makes sense in combination with the ISO 10646-1 (or Unicode) font encoding. It is possible that this setting, "ja", reserves a bit too big cells for the characters, cells into which Japanese could fit (which a bit bigger than those for Latin scripts). The setting for average width (120 vs. 80, i.e. wide vs. compact) confirms this. GNU Emacs 24.x seems to love Japanese…
What I don't understand is this font change (in this case in terms of
typographic style) happens only in the mode-line faces. To make it
clear again, I use that font successfully elsewhere (e.g. in the
`default' face).
