[Bug 1468027] Re: change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

 

I agree that using 69-language-selectors-*.conf is more flexible IF ubuntu resulted to use Regional Subset OTF instead of Super OTC.
We should not fallback a sans-serif font to serif.
Also, they provide fixed width font for regular and bold weight font start from 1.002, as known as Source Han Sans HW or Noto Sans Mono CJK.
As their monospace fonts(english letters) are designed for SHS/Noto, i don't see the point to fallback DejaVu Sans Mono.

  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

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.
