[Bug 1043031] Re: fontconfig-voodoo is not included in language-selector-common

Then, how could one use a particular font over other fonts?
Japanese prefer Japanese font over Chinese font.
I don't know Chinese but I think Chinese prefer Chinese font over Japanese font.

Current workaround most Japanese Ubuntu users take is uninstalling the Chinese font.
Since their problem is, Chinese font is selected over Japanese font.
Other workaround is modifying the 69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf by hand.

We need a font preference setting completely independent from current locale setting.
Just because somebody using en_US.UTF-8 doesn't mean he wish to use random Japanese/Chinese fonts for each CJK characters.

Title:
  fontconfig-voodoo is not included in language-selector-common

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I try to use "fontconfig-voodoo" in Ubuntu 12.10 from terminal,
  it told me:

      The program 'fontconfig-voodoo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
      sudo apt-get install language-selector-common

  Actually, I have language-selector-common package installed in my
  Ubuntu.

  Where is fontconfig-voodoo? Without it, I can't config the correct
  Chinese fonts under English locale.

  Thanks.
