There should be a real monospaced English character font prepended, like DejaVu Sans Mono (i think the Noto Sans Mono is too small for reading). For some applications, there are problems with the current config file.
reference: https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans/issues/57

Also, i think the Aliases for Chinese should be modified for noto-cjk

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:
  Fix Released
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.
