What metric does fontconfig use to select a font

[Cyker Way <cykerway@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just got messed up with so many <prefer>s and <accept>s. And it seems the first font in the list after all <prefer>/<accept>/<default> have been applied needn't have to be the finally selected one. If the order in the list doesn't count, why make that list? 

And how does the strong/weak binding affects the selection? 

What's the logic of this font-choosing algorithm? 

And what should I do to make sure one specific font will certainly be chosen when executing, say, 'fc-match sans'?

I've read the man page but still didn't quite understand it. Thanks.
