Hi Gunnar,

I just installed ubuntu 14.04.1 today. :)

However, in my system, the output of the fc-match is

$ LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 fc-match 'sans-serif'
DroidSans.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"

and the sorted matching font list is
$ LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 fc-match -s 'sans-serif'
DroidSans.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"
uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing TW" "Light"
uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing HK" "Light"
ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai TW" "Book"
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Bold"
Waree.ttf: "Waree" "Book"
DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: "Droid Sans Fallback" "Regular"

And you can see Droid Sans Fallback is far away from Droid Sans, so the CJK characters of sans-serif style will display as AR PL UMing which is a serif style font. Any edit to font family name of "Droid Sans Fallback" won't make it become real "Droid Sans". They are still two instances.

If we DO want to use "Droid Sans" instead of "Droid Sans Fallback" here. The only way is to bind them together to make them as one font.
