           Summary: Fontconfig should select DejaVu font for rendering
                    English, even in Japanese locale.
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 10
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: medium
         Component: fontconfig
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

    Classification: Fedora


Description of problem:

As you know, fontconfig finds proper fonts for text rendering, 
depending on locales of process and text to render.
It works properly in the most cases, but there are some sever cases.

For example, if you type only "@" or "}" in gedit, 
it uses glyph of VLGothic in Japanese locale.
However, if you type "a" after the first character, 
it changes one's mind to choose glyphs of DejaVu fonts.
It's very annoying for Japanese users.

In the worst cases, the width of the indentations of sourcecode seems
different.
(As the width of the " " glyphs are differ between VLGothic and DejaVu)

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login X11 as a Japanese.
2. Open gedit and change the configuration to use "Monospace".
3. Type "@" on the first line, and "@a" on the first line.

Actual results:
"@" seems differ between the two lines.

Expected results:
"@" seems the same between the two lines.
The same glyph should be used for rendering the two "@".
