I remember that once upon a time the whole issue of making it possible for FontConfig to blacklist glyphs from fonts was discussed. The idea was that it is easy and fast to write a few lines of XML into a FontConfig .conf file while it is slow and laborious to remove glyphs from a font. Perhaps now is the time to actually implement this functionality in FontConfig? One group of beneficiaries would be those who want to blacklist LGC glyphs in existing CJK fonts. A second group of beneficiaries would be those who wanted to use certain LGC fonts that are very nice except for a few characters which they don't like, such as a badly-formed EURO sign or something like that. So they wanted to be able to blacklist just individual bad glyphs in otherwise "nice" (but probably somewhat older, less-maintained) fonts. > > > I know what I'm about to say is totally silly, but I once managed to > > achieve what I wanted by deleting the latin characters from the Chinese > > font altogether.
