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-lohit-kannada.conf
