I am using locale en_US.UTF-8, But I need to read Japanese.
So I want Japanese fonts are preferred over Chinese font.
Now, fontconfig-voodoo is missing and all Japanese text is rendered by using Chinese font which looks really horrible.

That is for me.
But I think Chinese people prefer Chinese font over Japanese font.

Locale setting and font preference cannot be the same.

For the current workaround, I do
cp /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf ~/.fonts.conf
and then, delete all occurrence of these 3 lines.

<test name="lang" compare="contains">
    <string>ja</string>
</test>

So Japanese font will be chosed if it use Non-Japanese font and render
Japanese characters.

I really don't like this workaround and I wish simple fontconfig-voodoo
back.

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.
