Because that's how fontconfig priorities work. Read fontconfig docs or the Fonts
SIG documentation at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Fonts/Packaging/Fontconfig
to understand it.

And you're not solving the problem you're stomping on the font priorities of
every other script which suits you fine as you're mainly use japanese but won't
go well with other Fedora users, so it can not be a distribution default.

Please read the SIG ML archive as this has already been discussed to death for
wqy-bitmap-fonts, please read the Fonts SIG documentation, and if you still
don't understand why your proposed solution is not acceptable please discuss it
on the fonts ML.

That does not make it a suitable general-purpose default.
