[solved]Mono font substitution problem in gnome terminal

I have to edit mono font substitution in 65-nonlatin* in /etc/fonts/conf.d

Still don't understand why font rendering in terminal is different from the rest of the system though...

------------------------------------------

Don't know where else to post this, so it ends up here...

I just upgraded fontconfig today and substituted the ubuntu packages (cairo, freetype2 and libxft) with the cleartype ones (as the later are up-to-date and turn out looking cool too).

The only problem I have now is that mono font substitutiton got messed up in gnome-terminal.

Both gedit and terminal use the system mono font (which is set to Monospace), with Liberation Mono as the preferred font. But somehow the terminal decides to use a different font (looki like my Chinese font: wenquanyi-zenhei).

If I tell the terminal to use Liberation Mono, I get a serifed Chinese font, so this is not a solution for me.

I've read somewhere that gnome-terminal does not follow the system fontconfig? It gave me a lot of trouble the last time I upgrade the relevant files. So unfortunate that it decides to be naughty again this time...
