--- Comment #55 from Qianqian Fang fangqq@gmail.com 2009-05-08 01:10:40 EDT --- I hope the above comparison is clear.
Now let's talk about the next question, which involves ZenHei.
The comparisons we have done so far are unfair. Because Japanese fonts have both vector sans (Gothic) and serif (Mincho) installed, but for Chinese, only vector serif (UMing) were installed. As I said, ZenHei is the proper vector Chinese sans font. Without ZenHei, Chinese sans font has to fallback. Given the missing of Chinese sans vector font, Bitmap Song is indeed the most proper choice for Chinese sans (Uming will cross the lines from sans to serif). Therefore, in your tests 3 and 7, it picked Bitmap Song to render Sans, I think it is the right choice.
The only better solution is to install ZenHei by default. In that case, for larger size sans glyphs, it will use ZenHei as the first choice, and bitmap Song as the second choice.
If ZenHei needs to be installed, the config files of zenhei and VL Gothic should be "coordinated" (either you change your 66-vlgothic* or I changed my 41-wqy-zenhei.conf), in order to make both working, but we should not say which one is "correct" or "wrong". This is basically the concern of Bug#476459.
