query. which covers the code points in ug.orth. 2) the font pattern in
the query is wrong. 3) ug.orth has a bug.
1) Yes, there is already a better font available.
2) Probably
3) ug.orth has no bug. we have recently fixed it.
You can put the following config to $HOME/.fonts.conf:

The problem starts immediately when you boot your PC with CD to install the system. The installation screen itself is very buggy. I think it is because of the bugs in the fontconfig itself.
Before you finish installing the system, there is no way to put these files into those folder (which does not exist at the time you are installing the system from the CD).
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "/etc/fonts/fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Your Font Family Name</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Your Font Family Name</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>Your Font Family Name</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
or if you want to use your font for Uyghur only:
<match>
<test name="lang" compare="contains">
<string>ug</string>
</test>
<test name="family">
<string>sans-serif</string>
</test>
<edit name="family" mode="prepend">
<string>Your Font Family Name</string>
</edit>
</match>
and similar for serif and monospace too.
