Yes, your patch works alright - it is just ukai and nothing else. I'll put it on the bug report as well. Ukai (or rather, the original Arphic kai font) was the first
commercial quality chinese font released under an open license, so you are going to
have a lot of people - 20% of the world is Chinese, and also linux is rather more officially popular in China due to licensing/cost/idealological reasons and some
non-chinese will install "everything" - being affected by this. I don't know if it 
is ukai-specific or any Arphic kai derivatives, but if it affects any Arphic kai derivatives, filtering by font name as your patch did won't be effective.
