I have successfully installed language support for Chinese language through Language Support > Install Remove / Languages ... > Chinese (simplified).

While I am testing multi-language support for my application, I wanted to test some stuff with support for certain language and without system supporting the language.

After removing Chinese the same way I installed it, my system now continues to correctly display Chinese characters even if Chinese support is uninstalled. So my testing is now paused, I want to figure out what else was installed and not uninstalled with me clicking check-box and uninstalling Chinese (simplified).

What else should I uninstall, may be some fonts or other stuff? Is there any way to find out what packages each language check-box installs in Ubuntu Language Support to make it universal, because after Chinese I am moving to other languages too?

I did logout, reboot, to make sure settings are applied, did not help. I am adding relevant /var/log/dpkg.log

Output of locale command:

In /var/log/dpkg.log I found that fonts-arphic-uming and fonts-arphic-ukai are installed with Chinese language pack and they are not uninstalled when language pack is removed.

sudo apt-get purge fonts-arphic-ukai
sudo apt-get purge fonts-arphic-uming

Removing these two packages returned Ubuntu to it's original setup.
