I need more tests on your config files. But at least from what I saw at this
point, the replacement only happens for Sans, not for serif and mono. 

Generally speaking, users who like bitmaps also prefer to use bitmap Han glyphs
for all alias (sans, serif and mono). Also, because the Latin fonts are lot
better than the Latin glyphs in this bitmap, synthesizing the Latin fonts with
the bitmap Han glyphs are also preferred. In addition, I noticed that you used
"zh" as lang filter, this limits the use of this font for zh only, which does
not solve the font-mosaic problems under non-cjk locales while the original
61-wqy-bitmapfonts.conf does. Before 61-nonlatin gets updated, I prefer to have
these rules active for all non-ja and non-ko locales (at least en).

In order to use your config file, the above points need to be addressed.
