Let me ask using an example.

A web browser or other application may declare or set to use Arial font. Then the actual user content in the application is in Chinese. My system has Arial font and other two Chinese fonts installed, "WenQuanYi Zen Hei" and "Noto Sans CJK SC".

My question is, how can I ensure the fontconfig to always choose "Noto Sans CJK SC" to a reader the user content in this case?

I know a little about fc-match -s command, I am guessing, if the Noto appeared before WenQuanYi, then my wish will be fulfilled. Is that right? If so, I still have no idea how to config/change the order the fonts name in the output of the fc-match command.

Thanks in advance.

You can have an unconditional prepending match in your fonts.conf, for example:

<fontconfig>
    <match>
        <edit name="family" mode="prepend_first" binding="strong">
            <string>xos4 Terminus</string>
            <string>Fixed</string>
        </edit>
    </match>
</fontconfig>

You can read man fonts.conf for configuring a more complex font selection algorithm.
