Hi all,
I just found out that after explicitly dealt with the buggy fontconfig
snippets provided by Arphic fonts (to be more specific, the one shipped
by fonts-arphic-uming), using "prepend" + binding="strong" is enough to
make sure that Noto CJK fonts to be the first to match under Chinese
locales while preventing web browsers like Chromium and Firefox from
over-aggressively picking up Noto CJK fonts. The new version of fonts-
noto-cjk will be uploaded shortly.
I will test this patch on Debian Stable (Debian 10). If it also applies
there, I'm planning to make a stable update as well.
Regards,
Boyuan Yang

reserved to end user config. We should revert the change and find
another way to fix the original issue. If the original problem is font
ordering, can we create tiered font groups and order them by config
numbering?
