this is not necessary. AFAIK, there are no traditional-styled open-source
vector fonts (with good coverage and quality as zenhei/microhei) exist.
UMing/UKai/ZenHei/MicroHei are mostly following Unicode standard shapes (which
is based on simplified Chinese style). If you limit these fonts to simplified
Chinese users only, the traditional Chinese users will likely end up with
Japanese fonts, which are even worse in both coverage and glyph consistency.

I heard mostly positive feedbacks from traditional Chinese users for these
fonts, you may browse the following google link to find out:

In the long run, I would prefer to eliminate all the font preference sections
in these font conf files, and rely on the updated 65-nonlatin and
language-specific conf files to set orders. see
