Comment 23 for bug 659280

Well, there is no evidence or report that you can say that most people prefer the current settings. According to the comment, that is your preference to English typefaces of DejaVu than ones of WQY Micro Hei.

So, please just regardless of the preference, as far as I know that WQY Micro Hei character coverage is bigger than DejaVu provides and contains all of them, there is no need to use DjaVu first to meet the English typefaces then fall back to Chinese typfaces for Chinese user, right?

Now, imagine there is a text containing multilanguage such as English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean at the same time. You have a font which covered all the characters to display, one other for Engish only, one other for Japanese and else other for Korean. I believe that just use that font which can display the characters all is more harmony than displaying those characters of different langs to respective fonts. If you don't think so, please consult the art team to confirm that what I am saying is right or not. I have studied graphic art, and I know that using the same font to display what all it covers is just better than different fonts mixed in the same screen which make readers feel cluttered and not consistant. If you have other material that says I am wrong with this please contact me privately, and I will appreciate that a lot.

I won't comment more on the font issue.

By the way, if you guys want to discuss the settings of fontconfig for Chinese users, I propose you to file a new bug about language-selcter product to improve it (or you can say "enhancement" or something else here instead of "bug"). Editting the fontconfig settings won't change the fact that "Chinese characters in PDFs without embedded fonts are shown as squares" caused by Evince or something else not respecting the fallback mechanism.
