Hello tomoe_musashi,

I believe Noto Sans CJK is one of the best fonts available in free/libre
licenses for Japanese. However I'm not convinced to set the Noto Sans
CJK as default yet and I would like to know your motivations here.

For Japanese locale, what makes you so confident when compared to fonts-
takao, the current default font?

Can you point to a link where the discussion happened in Fedora?

Can you explain a bit how F13 dropped the files? In Ubuntu, language-
selector no longer manages fontconfig files. Instead font packages have
fontconfig files, e.g. /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-fonts-takao-pgothic.conf
in fonts-takao-pgothic. Even with Noto Sans CJK I think we still need to
choose font family name per locale such as "Noto Sans CJK JP" for ja_JP
locale.

Bug description:
  just realize that fonts-noto-cjk is available in the repository, finally its packaged.
  i don't really know about korean community.
  But for Chinese and Japanese community, i think that the answer is clear.
  noto-cjk is definitely better what we had before, like fonts- wqy and fonts-droid.
  Android community had received these complains for years, finally they got them fixed on lollipop.
  Fedora also set it as default chinese font start from F21.
  and of course, i still hope that ubuntu could drop those 69-language-selector fontconfig files, just like what F13 did.
