Sorry, the way I asked the question was misleading, fc-match was just a way to diagnose the problem.
The issue I am facing is that, even if Deja-vu is set to a higher priority than IPA font,
when the computer locale is set to ja_JP.UTF8, alphabet letters would be rendered with IPA font instead of Deja-vu.
What I am trying to achieve is to, with a locale set to ja_JP.UTF8, have alphabet rendered with Deja-vu and Japanese characters rendered with IPA font according to the set <prefer>ed order.
settings reminder:
```
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>DejaVu Serif</family>
<family>IPAPMincho</family>
<family>Baekmuk Batang</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
```
Thanks,
