I am just pointing out a solution to these two issues, you like to call it a
bug or "feature request", it does not matter.

the key difference is not to separate them from the standard fontconfig files,
but to make only one set of files linked under a given locale. sure you
probably don't not necessarily follow ubuntu's way, but the idea, a (set of)
locale-specific fontconfig settings is missing for cjk in fedora (at least for
ja).

then please propose a better solution, which can avoid overriding in both ways.

can you explain what do you mean by "simple priority list"? are you referring
to 65-nonlatin? or are you referring to font-specific config files? if it is
the latter case, we are talking about the same thing.
