Package: minetest
Version: 5.4.1+repack-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

English is not visible in Japanese locale. Only Japanese characters are
displayed. The server list does not show any list. See screenshot.

If you add the following line to "~/.minetest/minetest.conf",
English will be displayed.

  fallback_font_path = /usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto/NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc

Get the fonts from the fonts-droid-fallback package from minetest github.
Then, replace it with DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf to display English.

Isn't there a problem with the dependent fonts-droid-fallback package?
It looks similar to bug #969175 minetest: No text visible with Polish locale
