fontconfig priorities for non-LGC fonts

Hi,

We seem to be lacking space in the priority prefixes for fontconfig .conf files
for non-LGC fonts (aka nonlatin); maybe others too?

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fontconfig_packaging_tips#Choosing_a_ruleset_numeral_prefix

/usr/share/fontconfig/templates/fontconfig-priorities.txt

in that upstream's 65-nonlatin.conf is at the front of the 65-69 block.

This seems to largely make it impossible to override "nonlatin" fonts sometimes in fedora.

While we would like to address this upstream with restructuring the space
is there something we can do now in fedora for this for f13?

We need a fix before beta if we want to stop wqy-zenhei from overriding vlgothic for Japanese.

Thoughts, comments?

Jens

ps Overall 50-69 seems quite a narrow space for the range of fonts we have on hand now.
