Some feedback (but I'm *not* a CJK user so my opinion does not count much) :
- our current practice is to forbid CJK fontconfig rules bellow 65. The
current package violates this by putting stuff at 61
As I said, because 65-non-latin is extremely outdated, and no one try to chance this situation, plus that you told me it is not good to use prepend_first in the fontconfig files, then, the only way to by-pass the default font rendering order is to use a lower number. That's why I named 85-wqy-bitmapfont.conf to 61-wqy-bitmapfont.conf.
It is really 65-non-latin should be fixed, not wqy-bitmap-fonts.
- IMHO the fontconfig rules in a package should never declare rules for fonts
not included in this package. So I'd dump all the rules not dealing with "WenQuanYi Bitmap Song". If someone wants "AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni" rules he can ask to have them added to the Fedora package that ships "AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni" (if any)
same as above.
- IMHO it's also bad practice to declare a font in several generic families
choose serif, sans-serif or monospace but not all of them
because wqy-bitmap-fonts is not monospaced.
