Você pode verificar quais fontes estão disponíveis para um determinado idioma (como o chinês "zh") executando fc-list :lang=zh
.
Tente instalar primeiro as outras fontes chinesas que você desejar e, em seguida, recrie manualmente o cache da fonte executando fc-cache -f
.
Você pode definir manualmente a ordem das fontes editando seu ~/.fonts.conf
. Aqui está um exemplo que eu encontrei dos fóruns do Ubuntu para priorizar o japonês:
