I'm new to the locale files mentioned earlier in the thread, but my
reading of {en_US,zh_TW,ko_KR,ja_JP}.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE is that they
give national/language preferences for non-iso10646 fonts, but that they
don't help prioritizing iso10646 fonts.
Is work being done so that ja_JP.UTF-8 favours Japanese iso10646 fonts
and ko_KR.UTF-8 favours Korean iso10646 fonts,
or will everyone have to keep non-iso10646 CJK fonts around forever ?
I suppose that CJK iso10646 fonts could go in separate directories
and the font path be reordered to select a preference,
but I thought locale was supposed to put all these controls
into one place.
