It looks a bit weird. I don't really understand the syntax. The 
fontconfig documentation on the web doesn't tell me anything about 
comma-separated family or style variants. However, just using simple 
logic, I would actually expect to see there something like:

Adobe 明體 Std,Adobe Ming Std,Adobe 明體 Std L,Adobe Ming Std 
L:style=L,L,Regular,Regular

or

Adobe 明體 Std,Adobe Ming Std,Adobe 明體 Std L,Adobe Ming Std 
L:style=L,Regular

It certainly is disturbing that the fontconfig output doesn't list 
"Adobe 明體 Std", which should be the *first* and most specific family 
name to look for.
