--- Comment #24 from Akira TAGOH <tagoh at redhat.com> ---
Sure. that is actually same to what being proposed at comment#2 and
disadvantages on this way is:

 * if applications doesn't use any rendering library which doesn't support the
fallback mechanism, you'll miss Chinese characters on display.

 * it may still gives you different looks when the default Latin font will not
be DejaVu anymore and need to fix it yourself.


just to clarify, my suggestion at comment#15 also has a disadvantage...

 * if applications doesn't use any rendering library which doesn't support the
fallback mechanism, one will miss ASCII characters on display as it can be seen
with Lohit now.
