Description of problem: All of detailed information is available on my post at the fonts list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fonts/2010-March/001117.html binding="same" in the fontconfig config file prevents to apply the rule for the specific language only properly. As a result, fonts is used for non-targetted languages and it may gives different look and feel in some cases. I'd propose to get rid of binding="same" from: 66-ipa-gothic.conf
fixed in ipa-gothic-fonts-003.02-3.fc13.

Testing result without vlgothic-fonts due to the priority thing: # rpm -qa ipa-gothic-fonts ipa-gothic-fonts-003.02-3.fc13.noarch # fc-match monospace:lang=en DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" # fc-match monospace:lang=en-us DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" # fc-match monospace:lang=ja ipag.ttf: "IPAGothic" "Regular" # fc-match monospace:lang=ja-jp ipag.ttf: "IPAGothic" "Regular" That looks good though, that may be good to not use compare="contains" since fontconfig matches other languages with it. though it's luckily not appearing due to the priority etc. # fc-match sans:lang=en DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" # fc-match sans:lang=en-us DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" # fc-match sans:lang=ja ipag.ttf: "IPAGothic" "Regular" # fc-match sans:lang=ja-jp ipag.ttf: "IPAGothic" "Regular" That looks good. # fc-match serif:lang=en DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book" # fc-match serif:lang=en-us DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book" # fc-match serif:lang=ja ipag.ttf: "IPAGothic" "Regular" # fc-match serif:lang=ja-jp ipag.ttf: "IPAGothic" "Regular" No explicit rules for serif in ipa-gothic-fonts. # for i in $(ls /usr/share/locale|grep -v -E "^(ja)$"); do fc-match sans:lang=$i|grep -E "^(IPAGothic)$"; [ $? = 0 ] && echo $i; done No affects to other languages.
