Hi Gunnar,

Thanks for the good work.  The zh_CN locale now works as expected.

However, I wish I could say the same thing for the en_US locale.  I am
attaching a screenshot showing that many Chinese characters were missing
(represented by rectangles) when running the Chromium browser.

I would like to note several other observations:

1.   The missing Chinese characters were properly shown in Firefox.
I.e., No problem in Firefox, big problem in Chromium.

2.   In Chromium, I cannot find Droid Sans Fallback fonts in the
(Setting --> Select default fonts).

3.   I am also encountering missing Chinese character problems in using
Fcitx (Chinese input engine).  This may render Ubuntu 14.04 unusable for
(at least) English locale users who have a need to input Chinese
characters.

4.  In zh_CN.UTF-8 locale, the command ' fc-match "sans" ' returns

      DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: "Droid Sans"  "Regular"

4.  In en_US.UTF-8 locale, the same command ' fc-match "sans" ' returns

     DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans"  "Book"

Title:
  Default Chinese font changed to fonts-arphic-ukai after completing
  language support installation for zh-* locales

Status in Ubuntu Kylin:
  Fix Released
Status in “fonts-android” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “fonts-takao” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After completing language support installation, fonts-arphic-ukai and
  fonts-arphic-uming are pulled into user's system and then fontconfig
  chooses Ukai over Droid Sans Fallback for the default sans-serif font.
  This is not the desired behavior as Ukai doesn't fit well into the
  category of screen fonts comparing to Droid Sans.
