proposed 65-nonlatin with updated Japanese font orders

I updated the 65-nonlatin per Matsuu's suggestions. I personally would separate the non-free MS fonts to a different file or removed from fontconfig settings, but I left it there as in Matsuu's order.

Also, I downloaded UmePlus fonts and VL Gothic, and opened them with fontconfig, the font quality does not look good to me: many of the glyphs have entirely different styles (mincho styles in a gothic font), the stroke thickness, glyph baselines and stroke cluster densities are quite uneven. I know that both fonts incorporated MPlus fonts, and MPlus is good, but it has only ~1600 Han characters.

Perhaps the new Japanese variant of DroidSansFallback would be a lot better choice in the long run?
