So, reading

I see a complaint that "LibreOffice now even choose 'Microsoft YaHei'
for Traditional Chinese locale in Windows". And indeed YaHei (微软雅黑)
is a Simplified Chinese font, the Traditional equivalent is JhengHei (微
軟正黑體), and YaHei is listed as the default font for all zh-CN, zh-sg,
zh-TW and zh-HK

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/libs-core/commit/?id=231cdd06807a40ed3b9a3b9c896a22b46ea0a219
is the commit to set the default font to JhengHei for zh-TW and zh-HK, I
think we should consider this as a low-hanging for to cherry-pick to 3-4

This affects windows mostly, under linux only the first font in the list
is requested from fontconfig, along with the language desired, and the
fontconfig suggested returned font is used.
