No, nothing. I've found the conflict immediately since these
fonts are in my system.

In japanese category, almost all font files are made as individual
port. It should be because Japanese font filess are relatively
much lerger than roman.
Although it isn't an explicit guideline, You had better follow
custom if you going to add port of Japanese fonts into japanese
category.
In addition, as far as I remember, some font files has its so-called
'upstream' distribution source. I cannot confirm for the time being,
though.
