As far as I am concerned, if you are using zh_TW.UTF-8 locale and there is one font's language tag is zh-tw, fontconfig will just use the font only and neglect whether there are some characters missing in what is going to displayed.

However, Pango can search for the missing characters and patch them. So, if your system has Traditional Chinese, Simplied Chinese, Japanese, and Koreon fonts, you will probably have no problems displaying them in GTK2-based programs.

So, why can't QT do it either? Or just use the same idea which Pango have been using?
