Hi Aron,

Have you seen any particular unexpected results? I’ve been using Noto
Sans CJK for about a month on a low-dpi display. Based on my experience,
besides the multiple weights it provides, it looks way better compared
to WenQuanYi Micro Hei.

WenQuanYi Micro Hei was derived from Droid Sans Fallback, which is a
font particularly designed for saving space. Noto Sans CJK is a very
well-designed font family with complete character set. I’d say Noto Sans
CJK is no doubt the best open-source Chinese font at this time.

Title:
  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

Status in fonts-noto package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
