Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.6.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Although we know we can customize via ~/.fonts.conf, it will be nice if
you provide alternatives for system wide 
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf.
 * Chinese -> Japanese -> Korean (65-nonlatin-cjk.conf)
 * Japanese -> Korean -> Chinese (65-nonlatin-jkc.conf)
 * Korean -> Chinese -> Japanese (65-nonlatin-kcj.conf)
 * Japanese -> Chinese -> Korean (65-nonlatin-jck.conf)
 * Chinese -> Korean -> Japanese (65-nonlatin-ckj.conf)
 * Korean -> Japanese -> Chinese (65-nonlatin-kjc.conf)

Current 65-nonlatin.conf lists CJK fonts in somewhat random order.  This
is not so good. When multiple fonts are installed, the output becomes
different due to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification problem.

One of the most annoing ones are "U+3001 IDEOGRAPHIC COMMA" and "U+3002
IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP" whose character positions differ among CJK
countries.

I think indics have similar problems.

As long as we have multiple choices as system default choice, we can
easily set up alternatives with update-alternatives(8).  Asking debconf
question to set this alternative is the next step.
