Please file a bug against wqy-zenhei-fonts. 65-0-wqy-zenhei-sharp.conf contains the generic names rule for monospace.

Well, basically that is hard to guess from the incomplete information what a font is best for characters. I suppose it's something what higher-layered apps/library should tries to address. Another option is to have own config to change the default font because making it comfortable for everyone is impossible. that's why we have fonts-tweak-tool in f17.
