I am very glad that we finally reach some ground
and start to understand each other. that's good.

I knew you were pushed by the (artificially
determined) narrow prefix range for nonlatin
config files in Fedora [1]. I should have
pointed that out earlier.

I think this is now a Fedora matter, as the rules in [1]
are only followed by Fedora packagers. I prefer to define
51~64 for non-latin distro preference, as it still allows
users to use ~/.fonts.conf to overwrite.

Maybe file a bug on Fedora's bugzilla and ask Nicolas
to consider this adjustment?
