Silly mistake spotted.

> which is actually when the "Song" (the Chinese dynasty after Ming)

Song is before Ming, which follows Yuan (Mongolian rule). During the
Song dynasty, the printing industry reached an apex, thanks to movable
type. By Ming, the Kai-script-like typeface for movable blocks used
during Song have evolved into a simpler form with straight strokes (like
Modern Ming), which is much easier to carve on wood blocks.

Jeff Bai and I have almost forgotten the issue... Fortunately the
pending list generally looks good for me by now, and I am hoping to
publish it by next Monday.

Title:
  Chinese characters unexpectedly switch fonts in WebKit-GTK

Status in Fontconfig:
  Unknown
Status in Ubuntu Software Center:
  Invalid
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Fix Released
Status in webkit package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.7, Epiphany 2.28.0, Midori 0.1.9 (Ubuntu
  9.10)

  In WebKit-GTK, Chinese text varies fonts unexpectedly.

  For example, in Ubuntu Software Center's main screen, where the Office department is labelled "办公", "办" is in the WQY font while "公” is in the Ukai font. And where the Universal Access department is labelled "全局访问", the "全局" and "访问" are in different fonts.

  You can see the same problem in the Epiphany and Midori browsers, which also use WebKit-GTK, by copying and pasting this into their address field:
      data:text/html,<meta%20http-equiv="Content-Type"%20content="text/html;%20charset="utf-8">办公%20全局访问

  Firefox, AbiWord, and OpenOffice.org do not have the same problem.
  Interestingly, neither does Chromium 4.0.293.0 (35769, from the
  Chromium daily PPA), which suggests that it may be a WebKit-GTK bug
  that has been fixed since the version packaged in Ubuntu 9.10.
