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-mincho.conf
Fixed in ipa-mincho-fonts-003.02-2.fc13

Testing result: # rpm -qa ipa-mincho-fonts ipa-mincho-fonts-003.02-2.fc13.noarch # 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 ipam.ttf: "IPAMincho" "Regular" # fc-match serif:lang=ja-jp ipam.ttf: "IPAMincho" "Regular" That looks good though, that may be good to not use compare="contains" since fontconfig matches to another languages with it, but luckily not appearing this at the head because of the priority etc. # for i in $(ls /usr/share/locale|grep -v -E "^(ja)$"); do fc-match serif:lang=$i|grep -E "^(IPAMincho)$"; [ $? = 0 ] && echo $i; done # No affects to other languages.
