As you said, it only satisfies you, using western fonts only. it never
satisfies me actually, that's why I do the packaging work.

I completely understand your feeling, it's just the same as mine
everytime I run dst upgrade. I'm "afraid" to lose my adjustments.
another question raises why someone can enjoy and others must have to
suffer? so please help me try it in home:opensuse_zh before "doubt",
to see if it fulfills your needs. I did NOT push it to either M17N or
Factory yet.

Actually I don't know if it's a new rendering engine. I'm not a coder
and I can understand only a little of its source code. that's why I
post here, I need someone to assess it. and that's why I leave it in a
home repository for testing for so long to see the feedback.

It seems that patch set just enables sub-pixel rendering like old one
does, and makes adjustments to some specific fonts( most of them are
CJK, old-times, propietary and everyone-knows-it-renders-bad ones.)

So if your font is not among them, it renders maybe just as what it
looked like.

If I place it into a separate optional package, it won't help fresh
users. like Ubuntu looks good among all locales for fresh users. while
some foreign users of us SuSE have to install a package to look good.
it sounds really really bad.
