Description Qianqian Fang 2010-02-03 06:55:23 UTC
the Fedora fontconfig packaging guideline [1] limits non-latin fontconfig file prefix numbers to 65~69. This eliminates the possibilities to overwrite the upstream 65-nonlatin settings using per-font-config settings.

I suggest extending this range to 60~69, or even 50~69 for non-latin fonts, to avoid the difficulties such as reported in Bug#476459. See related discussions in [2].

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle.
Changing version to '13'.

Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2010-07-04 07:48:18 UTC
It is possible to order cjk fonts without extending this range, and the range was defined because too many cjk fonts inblude bad non-cjk glyphs, so it is not going to change unless fontconfig finaly grows a robust way to blacklist parts of a font
