You can find an example in the attachment from this link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499902 such as this one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=343148 you can even merge multiple edit blocks, or change binding from same to "strong" (or prepend to prepend_first) <match> <test name="lang" compare="contains"> <string>zh</string> </test> <test name="family"> <string>sans-serif</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong"> <string>DejaVu Sans</string> <string>Bitstream Vera Sans</string> <string>WenQuanYi Bitmap Song</string> <string>WenQuanYi Micro Hei</string> <string>WenQuanYi Zen Hei</string> <string>AR PL UMing CN</string> </edit> </match> Pat Suwalski wrote: > Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy wrote: > >> I would like to make arial the prefered Sans font in my system.
