            Bug ID: 412611
           Summary: Adjust all fonts for any given language instead of
                    just English (default)

kcm_fonts adjust any language

SUMMARY
In kcm_fonts there is an option to "Adjust All Fonts...". This option is only
useful for the default language/writing system (in my case, English). 
In order to set all default fonts for, let's say Arabic, we need to go to each
Font Type (General, Fixed Width, Small, etc), change the "writing system" to
Arabic, then change the font.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.Open System Settings 
2. Fonts > Fonts
3. General > edit (pencil) 
4. Writing System > Arabic 

OBSERVED RESULT
To set all default fonts for any given writing system/language each font type
(General, Fixed width, etc) has to be modified individually.

EXPECTED RESULT
In the current configuration it is hard to see at-a-glance what the default
fonts are for any given writing system save for the default language/writing
system.

I am suggesting next to the "Adjust All Fonts..." button, there also be a
Language drop-down list. That will allow users to use "Adjust All Fonts..." for
all languages AND it would also allow for quick looks at what fonts are set for
what languages. 

Currently this can be achieved by setting fallback fonts in the fonts.conf
file.
