That is, it always asks fontconfig for fonts to render Chinese, even if the text is Latin. Can be fixed in g-t for sure, but not a high prio. It's impossible to fix this with a fontconfig config. That's what you pay when you put multiple scripts in a single font. > in either case, the output of > FC_DEBUG=4 fc-match "monospace:lang=zh-cn:pixelsize=10px" > always put wqy as the first one, this is not consistent with what > Firefox actually displayed under en locales. What do you mean "always"? It's just one query. Of course it prefers wqy: you are asking for a Chinese font and your config files make it prefer wqy for Chinese. > Can any of you help me to find out how to get around these problems? Got a question for you: You said wqy is a fork of bitmaps from a TrueType font. Why not just contribute the bitmaps back to the original font? -- behdad http://behdad.org/Attachment: signature.asc
