Yes, your patch works alright - it is just ukai and nothing else. I'll put it
on the bug report as well. Ukai (or rather, the original Arphic kai font) was
the first
commercial quality chinese font released under an open license, so you are
going to
have a lot of people - 20% of the world is Chinese, and also linux is rather
more officially popular in China due to licensing/cost/idealological reasons
and some
non-chinese will install "everything" - being affected by this. I don't know if
it
is ukai-specific or any Arphic kai derivatives, but if it affects any Arphic
kai derivatives, filtering by font name as your patch did won't be effective.
