@Cheng-Chia Tseng,
You've misunderstood my point, please read back and find out where I said 
something like "I don't like this workaround because I like Dejavu"? No, there 
is not. 

What I am emphasizing is "people should have the freedom and possibility
to choose what font they prefer", and the workaround will force people
to lose their freedom. Also, please don't argue that people can change
the fontconfig configuration if they prefer to have things back to the
current one after your workaround - now you are able to change it to
whatever you like, too. No matter whether you have learned about art,
it's not our topic here.

I've read the pages of arguments on ubuntu-tw.org on this topic. It
appears to be several individuals do really cares about correctly
displaying documents rather than best default experience, and they are
who have been trying to push the changes. I know their opinion is
"workaround first, so they don't just wait for fixing the bug".

>From a developer point of view, workaround is acceptable once it do
helps on some problems and do not cause regressions. But here your
proposal does break users' freedom, and does break someone's preference
of fonts configurations - as I've said it's quick-and-*dirty*, and the
nature of being a dirty hack makes it isn't an acceptable solution.
