Yes...it's not ttc or ttf, but "one" ttc or "many" ttcs.

If we use separated ttcs, you can install Chinese variant and see Chinese right
if you see Chinese not displayed under any locale.

But if we use one ttc, you will not see Chinese right even if you have
installed Chinese variant
in English (which is not covered by the tweak and should not be covered)

Because the locale-based tweak and the unicode problem.

So I think this might be a shortcoming for this topic.

Because users will not get the behavior they want in some cases.

Most of the web pages will only specify "sans-serif" and let the system decide.
The language attribute is not possible at all, because any web page may have
something English...A good part of fontconfig is that you can use a
font to display
English and fallback to the other when CJK characters come out. This technology
is commonly used in Windows/Mac/Linux...
