    Classification: Fedora
the Fedora fontconfig packaging guideline [1] limits non-latin fontconfig file
prefix numbers to 65~69. This eliminates the possibilities to overwrite the
upstream 65-nonlatin settings using per-font-config settings.
I suggest extending this range to 60~69, or even 50~69 for non-latin fonts, to
avoid the difficulties such as reported in Bug#476459. See related discussions
in [2].
