I would like to give my full support on this effort. We ran into this exact issue when working on the eeePC. In the en_US.UTF-8 locale, the latin font was a nicely-hinted DejaVu Sans, with properly bitmap-hinted Chinese characters as needed from other fonts. In the zh_TW.UTF-8 and zh_CN.UTF-8 locales, it would always use the latin characters from the fonts made for Chinese, which had a rather ugly bitmap-hinted serif font. Using some fontconfig XML hackery, we got it to work nice in most applications, but sometimes the ugly latin characters in the Chinese fonts still show up. --Pat _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
