Comment 12 for bug 475240

For a long time when wqy was not present in ubuntu, Chinese text does
not look good in en_US.utf8. Because they are shown as Korean or Japan
font.

So, if this change is reversed, should Chinese users report the bugfix
itself as a bug?

The point is: when locale is en_US.utf8, only *one* of CJK fonts will look good.

If you put a Korean fonts as the highest priority, then Chinese and
Japan text will not look good at en_US.utf8.

If we put a Chinese fonts as the highest priority, then Korean and
Japan text will not look good at en_US.utf8.

If we put a Japan fonts as the highest priority, then Korean and
Chinese text will not look good at en_US.utf8.

The point is you should set the locale in order to raise your font to
the highest priority. Otherwise, in en_US.utf8 no one could decide
which one in CJK should be the highest priority.

Or there may be another solution: make a unique font which looks good
in all CJK characters...
