Let's separate the discussion on bitmap-song and zenhei properly.

from bug 492510:

Right, 66-vlgothic-fonts.conf comes after..

I tested language-selector - it actually has a problem currently: eg its
settings will override CJK fonts even when other CJK locale for app is
specified.

That doesn't sound like the right fix IMHO but perhaps I am missing something.
