NAK

1. please reproduce in a modern app like gedit - if it works there but not in
flash or xine-ui that's likely a flash/xine-ui problem (non-mainstream apps do
not expect complex font substitutions, windows does not do it and GTK1 had very
poor fonts support too)

2. Otherwise reading the wqy-bitmap-fonts thread in the Fonts SIG mailing list
archives will probably be instructive
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Fonts#ML

The result has been checked in the Fedora devel wqy-bitmap-fonts package

Basically hijacking the general distribution fonts priorities to accomodate one
language group is a no-go, any solution must be non-intrusive for other scripts
and not assume particular distro-level font defaults (or installed font packages)
