           Summary: Improves SC/TC fonts - Make wqy-zenhei as the default
                    font for Simplified Chinese.
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 13
          Platform: All

    Classification: Fedora
    Target Release: ---


In Simplified Chinese (SC for short) and Traditional Chinese (TC for short),
many characters has different writing styles, so it has better use different
fonts for SC and TC.
In order to provides better fonts for SC and TC users, UMing will be the
default font for TC, and ZenHei will be the default font for SC.

The purpose of this change is:
  1. When use Simplified Chinese (SC for brief) locale to login Fedora gdm, all
default desktop fonts will use WenQuanYi;
  2. When use Traditional Chinese (TC for brief) locale to login Fedora gdm,
all default desktop fonts will use UMing.

For wqy-zenhei-fonts:

The needed changes for wqy-zenhei-fonts is:
1. Please remove 44-wqy-zenhei.conf 65-wqy-zenhei.conf.
2. Add two fontconfig candidates for wqy-zenhei-fonts, one for antialias font
(65-0-wqy-zenhei.conf is default), another is bitmap font
(65-0-wqy-zenhei-sharp.conf).
3. In future, a new tool (zenheiset) to choose one of
65-0-wqy-zenhei-sharp.conf and 65-0-wqy-zenhei.conf. (maybe in this release, or
next release.)

44-wqy-zenhei.conf is removed, as fontconfig can deduce most values correctly
from wqy-zenhei.ttc. If there are explict reasons for keeping any options, the
options in this file will be added back.
And I tested without 44-wqy-zenhei.conf on Fedora 13, the font displays OK. :)

for wqy-microhei-fonts:

The needed changes for wqy-microhei-fonts is:
1. Please remove 65-wqy-microhei.conf.

As the default font for SC is wqy-zenhei, wqy-microhei is just another SC font.
Remove this config will make wqy-zenhei always be the default font for SC users
as UMing is always the default, I think wqy-zenhei is more mature than
wqy-microhei.

For more details and reasons, please see also README.en on
