Let's say I want to make sure my preferred order for "zh" font is like this: Hiragino Sans GB STHeiti Adobe Heiti Std Droid Sans Fallback Microsoft YaHei But I do *not* want to specify a hardcoded lang in my FcPattern, I'd rather have FcDefaultSubstitue() to add the default lang for me based on current environment. If I specify the preferred zh font list like this: <match target="pattern"> <test name="lang"><string>zh</string></test> <edit name="family" mode="append" binding="same"> <string>Hiragino Sans GB</string>… </edit> </match> then this will happen in FcConfigSubstitute() which is (normally) earlier than FcDefaultSubstitute(), then I don't get the lang set by FcDefaultSubstitute(). So what's the preferred way to do that?
