Hi Nobuto Murata,

Actually i think that fonts-takao is one of the best Japanese out
there.but when its compared to fonts-noto, noto provides more weights,
better CJK fonts support with multilingual, and personally, better
monospace fonts paring bwtween English letters and CJK fonts,  better
e-reading experience with unified fonts design.

here are some links that they discussed about changing Fedora's Chinese fonts(in Chinese):

https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/chinese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/ABGCWMJK7BDJD6QDZ4UFCHLVJXCCFV7T/

i apologize about uncertain F13 info i posted. its nothing to do with language-selector. i will edit the description.
And for those applications lacking locl GSUB feature and lang tagging, setting font family for per locale would be necessary.

Title:
  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

Status in fonts-noto package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:

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.
