I did this at ppa:laney/language-selector. It's not right, though. Let's take a look at 69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf as an example.
<match target="pattern"> <test qual="any" name="family"> <string>serif</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong"> <string>DejaVu Serif</string> <string>Bitstream Vera Serif</string> <string>HYSong</string> <string>AR PL UMing CN</string> <string>AR PL UMing HK</string> <string>AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni</string> <string>AR PL New Sung</string> <string>WenQuanYi Bitmap Song</string> <string>AR PL UKai CN</string> <string>AR PL ZenKai Uni</string> </edit> </match> So if I ask for "serif" I get DejaVu and Bitstream Vera before getting any others. This overrides the default selection for /all/ users, whereas before it would only happen for zh_CN users due to the LANG test. We could perhaps guard the "generic" fonts by a LANG test and leave the rest unguarded? Or just remove those ones altogether and add the others (in "append" mode?)? It would help a lot if someone could test these options (you can edit the file directly in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/) and report back what the best option is. We need to make sure that users who do not have this locale/font don't see any change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043031 Title: fontconfig-voodoo is not included in language-selector-common Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I try to use "fontconfig-voodoo" in Ubuntu 12.10 from terminal, it told me: The program 'fontconfig-voodoo' is currently not installed.
