Showing the correct font in Japanese

Writer Matthew Harrington

I'm having a problem with Japanese characters using old/Chinese forms (神社 being the obvious examples), just as in this question:
Some applications use "archaic" character instead of modern Japanese one.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 and the solutions there don't seem to apply anymore.
How do you fix it in ubuntu 12.10?
