So what? that's not a bug in vlgothic-fonts though ;)
I am just pointing out a solution to these two issues, you like to call it a bug or "feature request", it does not matter.
Not really. I have looked at language-selector though, basically what they have done is same to what we do. only difference is, they've done to switch the config physically outside fontconfig, but we do in fontconfig with checking the language.
the key difference is not to separate them from the standard fontconfig files, but to make only one set of files linked under a given locale. sure you probably don't not necessarily follow ubuntu's way, but the idea, a (set of) locale-specific fontconfig settings is missing for cjk in fedora (at least for ja).
I don't think Ubuntu way is the right thing since it doesn't use the expected fonts for the language. i.e. if select -zh-cn.conf, even Japanese text will be rendered with Chinese font.
then please propose a better solution, which can avoid overriding in both ways.
I'm not sure what you mean. the language-specific overrides rule is to do that. but it really conflicts to the simple priority list. actually getting rid of it makes the language-specific overrides rule working and this issue is also gone. Since we've sometimes ever seen the font order issue between Chinese and Japanese desktop/installer etc, I'm beginning to think that the simple priority list is evil.
can you explain what do you mean by "simple priority list"? are you referring to 65-nonlatin? or are you referring to font-specific config files? if it is the latter case, we are talking about the same thing.
