How to set the Chinese font for use in spans within English text

I think you want something like this:

#set text(font: ("Songti SC", (name: "Libertinus Serif", covers: "latin-in-cjk")))

That is, if your main document language is Chinese.

Otherwise, I think this should work:

#set text(font: ("Libertinus Serif", "Songti SC"), fallback: false)

The fallback: true will ensure that no other font is used, but this could potentially mean that some characters will not be displayed.

text.font
