My guess is fontconfig or webkitgtk in Windows didn't match the meta lang id with system's fonts. For ex. it would pick Verdana which don't have lang=ar over Arial which have when rendering arabic pages (clearly defined lang=ar). I thought that what fontconfig have to deal with? or not?

Why would I even need to override the preference from fonts.conf? Is there another good browser with fontconfig/freetype backend on Windows? 
I have Mplayer that use fontconfig to pick which font to render subtitle but also come with fairly standard fonts.conf so I doubt this is fontconfig fault...

In other hand, how to make pango works without doing my previous comment#4? Pango lack of CJK (Korean is displayed but with wrong hint) in Windows.
