the sole purpose of designing those bitmaps are for screen use (obviously, they are not good for print). If you put them backwards, that basically means these fonts will never be used even they are installed. Unless it boosts it self to the front using its own config file, like wqy-bitmap-fonts. But that just makes the font swamp messier. Do you really want that way?
