In those applications shipped with manjaro, like system settings, Dolphin, konsole. I found 3 commonly used characters"一" “体” “西” are displayed in serif style while other displayed in bold style.
I cant tell whether they are different fonts or the different types of the same font.
This happens to most fonts that don’t support Chinese.(ex. Hack, Noto Sans)
Here is a quick example:
The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog
西体一
四休二
I currently know that Source Han Sans CN works. But is there any way to solve this without changing the font? (Cause i want to use Hack font to edit code and some Chinese note.)
Maybe there is a way to set the fallback order, or force Chinese to be displayed in certain font?
Thanks a lot for reading this.
I think posting my fonts.conf might be helpful:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>

SOLVED
I just added a line in every family in the file /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-nonlatin.con
<family>Source Han Sans CN</family> <!-- zh -->
