Let's separate the discussion on bitmap-song and zenhei properly.
from bug 492510:
Actually, I think the font order in the current 65-nonlatin.conf is
fine: as it
does not assume specific language, I believe it is a good idea to put
large-coverage fonts in front of small ones (see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20911). The only problem is, there
is no Japanese specific font priority settings to boost VL Gothic for ja
locale!
Right, 66-vlgothic-fonts.conf comes after..
Here is Ubuntu's way to solve this: a list of language specific
(CJK only)
fontconfig settings are stored in conf.avail, named with
"{29,69,99}-language-selector-xxxx.conf" where xxxx include zh-cn, zh-hk,
zh-..., ja-jp and ko-kr. For a given desktop locale, it will link the
corresponding conf file to conf.d. Although it is a little bit messy, but I
think it serves the purpose well: 65-nonlatin is the default font order without
assuming any specific lang, if you want to overwrite that for a specific
locale, you have to add a lang-specific conf file.
I tested language-selector - it actually has a problem currently: eg its
settings will override CJK fonts even when other CJK locale for app is
specified.
If we are short of time for F11, I can temporarily add a
xx-wqy-zenhei.conf and
set VL Gothic in front of ZenHei when lang=ja
That doesn't sound like the right fix IMHO but perhaps I am missing something.
