The way I''m thinking is to match on Kochi Mincho and on the the size as
being
smaller than a certain value that you deem as the minimal for you confort. If
the condition is true then you can override the size with your minimal desired
value. Of course, this won''t perform dynamic adjustment on the size, it
will
just establish a minimal threshold, similar to what you can achieve in a
browser like Mozilla. Sorry, I''m not exactly a fontconfig conf wiz so I
can''t
produce an example.

Hello,

I''m starting to learn japanese, and I wanted to use a japanese font as 
fallback for all other fonts (whenever another font doesn''t have a 
character, the japanese font should be used to fill the blank). I went 
ahead and got this working by a simple match rule:

<match>
        <edit name="family" mode="append">
                <string>Kochi Mincho</string>
        </edit>
</match>

Now, the problem is: all the japanese characters are painfully small 
compared to tahoma - so I''d like to make the japanese font twice as 
large or something, compared to tahoma (i.e. whenever a character from 
Kochi Mincho is used, the size is doubled or something)

Is this possible to accomplish? How would I do it?

Thanks a lot!
