Hi, Jehan

Maybe you can get some help with another mantainer Terminator, who is a Chinese.

As GI said, indeed some CJK fonts has NO embedded bitmap fonts, and users
will feel tired when the fonts are small. Small embedded bitmap fonts
are clearer
than small fonts.

I have no idea if using fontconfig can simplify font setting, but I do
not like it.
disadvantage: only .ttf/.ttc?
