Hi guys !

        I have a question of setting up my fonts.conf. I am a chinese user, I get used 
to
        switch between 18030 and hkscs locale. When I still haven't setting up the 
fc+xft
        and gnome2 environment, I use the old fontset techniques to setting up the 
fonts
        for application. Considering the following case :

        I have one fonts called "DFFangSongW3-A", which is capable for GB18030, and 
        "AR YentiL BIG5&HKSCS" for Big5+HKSCS. In the old environment, I can use 
specify
        the system to take an verdana + yenti fontset for the hkscs locale and
        verdana+fangsong for the gb18030 locale. Now, under the xft + fc, I find some 
        problem for me. If I specify the following :
        
        ==========================================================
        <alias>
                <family>sans-serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Verdana</family>
                        <family>AR YentiL BIG5&HKSCS</family>
                        <family>DFFangSongW3-A</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
        ==========================================================
        
        When I set the locale to GB18030, and open a apps to request gylph for a text 
file,
        what I will get is taking glyph from the "yenti" fonts, if some glyphs are 
missed, get
        it from "fangsong".

        This is a problem, as most probably, I can't get two fonts with exactly same 
face but 
        for two charset. Though, I know that, I can reorder the "yenti" and "fangsong" 
in
        the fonts.conf to archieve my desire result, but this will be same problem, if 
I am in 
        hkscs locale.

        Can I do something to the fonts.conf to avoid the current situation ? Or, this
        situation can't be solved at this moment, or ... there is other reasons ?
