Sure. I was just following 3rd at comment #4 which makes sense to me. it may be
hard to categorize Chinese fonts to those three and I don't know how much
difference of the bitmap fonts in the design among Song, Ming, Kai and so on.
but IMHO it should be aligned to one of them as they are, no matter how much
sizes those fonts are available since it's named like so. because they
should/could more or less contains any difference defining in the design
regardless of the font size.

I'm not sure if I hear what you mean. at least that rule will be applied as
long as you run applications under Chinese locale or rendering engine requires
it to display a text tagged <span lang="zh">blahblahblah</span> in the pango
markup say. which cases are you really concerned? do you prefer to use the
Chinese outlined fonts for English as well but the bitmap fonts from Latin
fonts if the size available?
