The font configuration section of xorg shows a sed that clobbers

remove the references to Bitstream?
I've been playing around with sed and came up with this:
sed -i \
's,\(^\t\t*\)\(<family>Bitstream Vera\)\(.*\),\1<family>DejaVu\3\n\1\2\3,' \
fonts.conf
which produces a diff like this:
+ <family>DejaVu Serif</family>
<family>Bitstream Vera Serif</family>
If you really want to have both fonts, please swap them (i.e.: Bitstream should
come first, otherwise it would never be used if not explicitly asked for). On
the CD, however, the intention is to clobber Bitstream Vera because it is not
installed at all.
OTOH, DejaVu contains all characters originally present in Bitstream fonts, and
it is a bug if these common characters render differently. So, Bitstream fonts
are needed only for broken applications that explicitly ask for them.
Anyway, I found a problem with the sed for Arphic fonts as well (both in
the wiki and in the livecd Makefile). Again, the tab count might be 2 or
3, so I'm using this similar sed::
sed -i 's,\(^\t\t*\)\(<family>Kochi.*\),\1\2\n\1<family>AR PL New
Sung</family>,'
The intention is to replace only inside <prefer> tags, not in plain <alias>
tags, because it is stupid to assign both "monospace" and "serif" aliases for
the same font (this would mean: if a character isn't covered by AR PL New Sung,
search other serif fonts, oh no, search monospace fonts). But it is OK to use
the same font when one asks for Chinese character in a generic "monospace" and
"serif" families, because the screen resolution is not sufficient to
distinguish. Thus, the replacement happens only in three-tab lines.
As for the "after Kochi" placement, it's a hack. The real intention for the
LiveCD is "before any other Chinese fonts".
