Under the mono column of zh_CN, WQY Zen Hei Sharp
is actually not a monospaced font. You may consider
"WQY Zen Hei Mono" for this category. I believe WQY
Micro Hei was also packaged for Fedora, the proportional
and monospace faces in that package can also
be considered.

I did not follow the default font settings in F17.
There was a long standing issue of reading Chinese
under non-CJK locales (en,fr etc) because Japanese
fonts were set to a higher priority in the fontconfig
65-nonlatin. Will this issue be solved with the new
effort?
