please do not mix two issues together:

the original report seems to be an issue of prioritizing Japanese
fonts above Chinese ones: the text was clearly rendered by
Japanese-styled Han glyphs (likely vlgothic). This should be
fixed by using the language-specific fontconfig files that Arne is
working on, (or the current language-selector/fontconfig-voodoo
approach).

Arne, can you give an update on this?

the second issue is the preference between microhei/zenhei, or
microhei/bitmap song for Han glyphs. Admit it or not, this is
just a matter of personal taste. It is fine to advocate the preference
you like, but please also show your respect to the alternative
opinions too. Using strong words such as "ugly" can actually
bring negative feelings to your feedback.
