Not at all, I'll do that. Are we talking about Chinese only at this
time?

Please note that the seeds of all the flavors need to be changed in the
same manner as in your linked merge proposal for ubuntu.xenial.

One thing is that we need an equivalent to the config file in fonts-
droid in order to make fonts-noto-cjk co-exist with the fonts-arphic-*
packages, i.e. to prevent that UKai and UMing is picked over Noto by
default when there is a non-Chinese locale. (See the discussion in bug
#1227034.) I played with a possible config file, which may or may not be
sufficient for the purpose:

$ cat /etc/fonts/conf.d/64-fonts-noto-cjk.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
        <alias>
                <family>sans-serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Noto Sans CJK SC</family>
                        <family>Noto Sans CJK TC</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
</fontconfig>
$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 fc-match -a | grep -iE 'noto|ar pl' | head -20
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "DemiLight"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Regular"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Medium"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Thin"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Light"

NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Light"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Bold"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Black"
ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai CN" "Book"
ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai HK" "Book"
ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai TW" "Book"
uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing CN" "Light"
uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing HK" "Light"
uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing TW" "Light"

But this certainly needs to be tested by users who speak Chinese.

Title:
  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

Status in fonts-noto-cjk package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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.
