Well, basically the above result looks good. for the result of the query of sans, DejaVu Sans has the he support and it's added to the list prior to culums-fonts. it's out of interests in this bug. if you want to make culmus-fonts default for he-il, please bring it up on fonts list or talk to DejaVu fonts maintainer.

Aside from that, right now all fontconfig config files for culmus-fonts has 65- prefix. which fonts are selected by fontconfig depends on which package one installs and the alphabetical order. so please add the certain prefix if you want to.

one more interesting result:
# for i in $(ls /usr/share/locale|grep -v -E '^he');do fc-match monospace:lang=$i|grep CLM; [ $? = 0 ] && echo $i; done
DavidCLM-Medium.ttf: "David CLM" "Medium"
yi


Apparently we don't have any rules in fontconfig for Yiddish though, we may need yi.orth in fontconfig if we want to make them difference? anyway, this result looks different issue. I'll waive this so far.

i think it will be nice if we take review from some he user for making culmus default instead of Dejavu.

presently Dejavu has conf file with 57/58 prefix, so i think culmus conf file not making any problem for priority. So might be 65 is ok

Doh, nevermind. DavidCLM-Medium.ttf just has the yi support in the lang.

Well, the problem is that. without any solutions in DejaVu, what we have options to make a priority to culmus-fonts for Hebrew users are:

1. use the strong binding
2. add higher priority to culmus-fonts than DejaVu
3. use the prepend_first

Though I'd not recommend any of them, 1 may be more realistic.
