I am using locale en_US.UTF-8, But I need to read Japanese.
So I want Japanese fonts are preferred over Chinese font.
Now, fontconfig-voodoo is missing and all Japanese text is rendered by using Chinese font which looks really horrible.

That is for me.
But I think Chinese people prefer Chinese font over Japanese font.

Locale setting and font preference cannot be the same.

For the current workaround, I do
cp /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf ~/.fonts.conf
and then, delete all occurrence of these 3 lines.

<test name="lang" compare="contains">
    <string>ja</string>
</test>

So Japanese font will be chosed if it use Non-Japanese font and render Japanese characters.

I really don't like this workaround and I wish simple fontconfig-voodoo back.
