I am not talking about preference with the dejavu fonts you like or not.

Using ONE font to display English, Chinese, Japanese and other characters is what I am talking about to keep the consistance.

Using different fonts to display characters respectively must break the harmony when all the different typefaces show up, such as you see DejaVu Englsih and WenQenYi Micro Hei Chinese characters are at one screen will never be more harmony with Only WenQenYi Micro Hei English and Chinese are at one screen. This is about art, about eye candy, and about harmony.

I don't know why the developers tend to use DejaVu for English and WQY Micro Hei for Chinese for Chinese users. Is there anyone knows the reason?

By the way, I think editting the fontconfig settings which Ubuntu ships is someting like "Enhancement" or "Feature Request" that people should file a new one, and removing the bugs which cause the problems is what should do. I don't know whether you are confused by what I am saying or not...
