Generally speaking, users who like bitmaps also prefer to use bitmap Han glyphs for all alias (sans, serif and mono).
Sure. I was just following 3rd at comment #4 which makes sense to me. it may be hard to categorize Chinese fonts to those three and I don't know how much difference of the bitmap fonts in the design among Song, Ming, Kai and so on. but IMHO it should be aligned to one of them as they are, no matter how much sizes those fonts are available since it's named like so. because they should/could more or less contains any difference defining in the design regardless of the font size.
In addition, I noticed that you used
"zh" as lang filter, this limits the use of this font for zh only, which does not solve the font-mosaic problems under non-cjk locales while the original 61-wqy-bitmapfonts.conf does. Before 61-nonlatin gets updated, I prefer to have these rules active for all non-ja and non-ko locales (at least en).
I'm not sure if I hear what you mean. at least that rule will be applied as long as you run applications under Chinese locale or rendering engine requires it to display a text tagged <span lang="zh">blahblahblah</span> in the pango markup say. which cases are you really concerned? do you prefer to use the Chinese outlined fonts for English as well but the bitmap fonts from Latin fonts if the size available?
