Guess what (again)?
Now, after performing the following upgrade:

  [UPGRADE] fontconfig 2.6.0-1 -> 2.6.0-3
  [UPGRADE] fontconfig-config 2.6.0-1 -> 2.6.0-3
  [UPGRADE] libfontconfig1 2.6.0-1 -> 2.6.0-3

I am experiencing this bug on all my testing boxes (new and old, no
matter when they were originally installed).

I cannot see any Asian font on any of my Debian testing boxes!  :-(

I took a look at recent fontconfig change-log entries and I saw many
changes related to bitmap fonts.
I noticed that all my testing boxes now have bitmap fonts disabled:

  $ ls -l /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf 
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 2008-11-30 15:30 
/etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf -> /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf

Hence, I thought that maybe I should try and enable bitmap fonts.
I tried to

  # cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
  # rm 70-no-bitmaps.conf
  # ln -s ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf ./

but, even after restarting X, no enhancement was visible.
As a consequence, I restored the previous 70-no-bitmaps.conf link...

*Help*!
May I have some sort of maintainer response, please?
