Well, the whole idea is to get DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf to the top of
the list, and the reason why I changed it is that the "Droid Sans
Fallback" strings in the 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf files were
ignored.

Do you possibly have own fontconfig configuration files that might
affect this?

Title:
  Droid Sans no longer preferred font for Chinese

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “language-selector” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  In the 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf files we try to make Droid Sans
  the preferred font in case of a Chinese locale. However, suddenly this
  seems to not work any longer. The number of affected users is
  significant.

  [Test Case]

  How to reproduce:

  $ sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8
  $ LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 fc-match 'sans-serif'

  After the change, the response is the expected

  DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"

  Before the change, the response is something else.

  [Regression Potential]

  This makes the intended (and previously working) behaviour effective.
  No undesired side effects identified.
