Yes, I know. and fontconfig is capable to do that with the language-specific
overrides rule. it can constructs the font list from them and works similarly
unless the simple priority list rule prevents.

I do ;) can you point out any cases that the language-specific overrides rule
doesn't work instead? I should asked you same question but I didn't get the
certain reply for my comment #34 yet though.

We are talking about the same thing? I don't think so since you apparently
dislikes it and you are proposing to do that outside fontconfig for single
language but not to make happier with all of CJK and non-CJK languages with
English locale say at once.

Sorry? can you point out what's difference between the above and current
vlgothic-fonts' config? it looks similar to me except it's provided separately
because those are subpackaged. and I don't really like to contain the font name
not owned.

> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
> <fontconfig>
>   <alias>
>    <family>sans-serif</family>
>    <prefer>
>     <family>DejaVu Sans</family>
>     <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family>
>     <family>VL PGothic</family>
>    </prefer>
>   </alias>
>   <alias>
>    <family>monospace</family>
>    <prefer>
>     <family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family>
>     <family>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</family>
>     <family>VL Gothic</family>
>    </prefer>
>   </alias>
> </fontconfig>  

Whether or not this works properly really depends on the order of the config
files, which isn't the right direction to go.
