I should have completed my sentence. What I wanted you to do
is to compare
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/tree/conf.d/README
 with
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fontpackages.git?p=fontpackages.git;a=blob;f=fontconfig-templates/fontconfig-priorities.txt

the first one is what suggested in fontconfig, and the second
one is what suggested in Fedora. see the difference?

the limitation that non-latin shall not go below 65 is
only a Fedora limitation. As long as you match lang tag as
the enclosing block in your config file, I don't think it
matters which number you choose for Latin or non-latin
fonts if 50<n<65.

Following rules is fine, but do not turn it into dogmatism.
Rules are meant to help, not meant to hinder.
