but what you said is not consistent with Latin font settings in fontconfig: I don't see Tahoma, Calibri, Segeo etc in the latin configuration files; Arial is also set to a lower priority than Dejavu/Bitstream. Why should CJK use a reversed support order? because CJK people like piracy? (joking of course)

I thought I said it clear:

1. attract more users and feedback for CJK OSS font development. Since all OSS software can benefit from release-often-release-early model to evolve, why OSS fonts can not benefit from this model?

2. discourage unlicensed use of fonts, because it is simply wrong. if nobody respect font copyright, nobody will spend time to develop them and make them better.
