I believe it is. Bitmap fonts are considered very bad for any "complex" scripts, and since fontconfig doesn't handle the cases of fonts that claim to support complex scripts but don't have the required additional tables yet, ignoring the bitmap fonts (which are the majority of such fonts) by default could be considered a workaround until the bug is fixed/the feature is implemented. roozbeh
