According to the README pdf file (https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-
han-sans/raw/release/SourceHanSansReadMe.pdf) of Adobe Source Han Sans,
and the experience within LibreOffice, I have to say that Super OTC file
is not well supported in Linux desktop.

It is suggested using Regional Subset OTF files in Linux for now;
however, that will take us a lot of space to keep all the OTF files.
This is what Fedora provides for CN and TW locales, 7 files for about
39.6MB for TW locale and about 58.6MB for CN locale.

The other way is to endure the poor support of Super OTC and file
related issues to those infected packages. And this will be a hard way
for us to go. It will benefit the ecosystem better in the long run, but
I don't recommend this way.

Title:
  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

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

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.
