Priority list breaks the order of the font on non-native locale

[Akira TAGOH]

Hi,

I'm just trying to get Bug#492510 fixed and noticed that
Simple priority list in the fontconfig conf that each font
packages has and the priority lists in *-non-latin.conf
etc breaks the order of the fonts when running under
non-native locale (in that case displaying Japanese on en_US
locale).  How it breaks.. well, the markup to override the
language information nor overriding fallback fonts rules
with PANGO_LANGUAGE doesn't work. once removing the priority
lists it works again.

So I'd suggest adding a font in the language-specific rules
rather than having the priority list.

Any comments are welcome.

TIA,

So you are suggesting to remove *-non-latin.conf? Or did I misunderstand?

Plus, to remove
<alias><family>...</family><prefer>...</prefer></alias>
things too if they have, and ensure adding language-specific
rules to add their fonts to the list instead as it described
in wiki.
