Hi, Current fontconfig will only recognize zh-hk fonts as zh-tw fonts. However they are different. The attached small patch can fix this issue. I removed 0xF907 from zh_hk.orth file, because some popular zh-hk fonts don''t have this char, and this char is unimportant.

Hi, However, with this patch, some Simplified Chinese fonts may be detected to support zh-hk as well. So I''m just thinking if it''s ok to add a code U+20547 into zh_hk.orth, which is an additional Chinese chars in CJK-Ext B required by HKSCS-2001 or later. The big5 code of this char is 0x FA40, which was mapped to U+E000 in old HKSCS standard. Then all available Simplified Chinese fonts will be filtered out.

I''ve committed the following patch:
2006-01-24 James Su <james.su@gmail.com>
reviewed by: plam
* src/fcfreetype.c (FcFreeTypeIsExclusiveLang):
* fc-lang/zh_hk.orth:
Treat zh-hk fonts differently from zh-tw fonts. This patch may
cause fontconfig to treat A-X fonts differently from A-Y fonts;
please mail the fontconfig list if this causes any problems.
The change in FcFreeTypeIsExclusiveLang now will refuse to match a font
even if the language part is the same and the country part is different.
Let me know if this causes a problem.
