[Fontconfig] What metric does fontconfig use to select a font

[Cyker Way]

Hmm, it seems ~/.fonts.conf will be the first processed configurations. So
this solution should work. Thanks.

BTW, how does fontconfig sort the precedence of fonts according to the
application request? If this question is not fully answered, maybe other
problems will arise in the future. Do you have any idea on that?
