You better read the above comments carefully. wqy-zenhei-fonts is irrelevant
for this issue and either of fonts shouldn't affects anything else. that's why
adding no own fonts to the fontconfig rule is a bad idea. actually my simpler
rule works fine with the above testcases.

To be sane, here is a result of pango-view with Serif, without
wqy-zenhei-fonts.

1. LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 pango-view --text "日本語 test" --font "Sans 100"

   --> [GOOD] rendering is ok with Japanese font

2. LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 pango-view --text "日本語 test" --font "Sans 12"

   --> [GOOD] rendering is ok with Japanese font

3. LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 pango-view --text "日本語 test" --font "Sans 100"

   --> [GOOD] rendering is ok with Chinese outline font

4. LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 pango-view --text "日本語 test" --font "Sans 12"

   --> [BAD] outline font is still used.

5. LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 pango-view --markup --text '<span lang="ja">日本語</span>
test' --font "Sans 100"

   --> [GOOD] rendering is ok with Japanese font

6. LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 pango-view --markup --text '<span lang="ja">日本語</span>
test' --font "Sans 12"

   --> [GOOD] rendering is ok with Japanese font

7. LANG=en_US.UTF-8 pango-view --text "日本語 test" --font "Sans 100"

   --> [GOOD] rendering is ok with Chinese outline font

8. (bonus)PANGO_LANGUAGE=zh LANG=en_US.UTF-8 pango-view --text "日本語 test"
--font "Sans 12"

   --> [BAD] outline font is still used

9. (bonus)PANGO_LANGUAGE=ja LANG=en_US.UTF-8 pango-view --text "日本語 test"
--font "Sans 12"

   --> [GOOD] rendering is ok with Japanese font

This result would means the fallback rule by the size doesn't work which I've
pointed out at comment #48.

Again, it's a separate issue. please stop mixing up multiple bugs here. and I'm
still waiting for your explanation what exactly you faced with my simpler
fontconfig rule.
