Description Joseph Wang 2017-07-08 23:42:48 CEST 
Description of problem:

The fontconfig file for Microsoft loads in Microsoft fonts SimSum and MingLiu for Chinese.  This is incorrect as MS has some perfectly good SansSerif fonts, and in any case the system should fall back on non-MS Sans fonts


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce: 

1) use drakfont to load in MS fonts
2) look at Chinese environment and all of the English letters sans fonts have serif

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

Feel free to reassign to yourself, Joseph :-)
