[Bug 1581160] Re: Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

 

Deleting old fonts is not good for many person, it will deprive many
person’s chance of font selection. many person’s preference should be
kept within the distribution, otherwise ubuntu will lose many users.

Font can be handeled as many software, but it is not a program. it’s a
tool to express users’ characteristic and their taste, and a very
valuable asset of each users, even if there is so much few users.

changwoo said that, this discussion is just for changing from Nanum to
Noto sans as a default font. This is really important thing should not
forget. there should not be any matter related on font deletion. Linux
is not Windows and/or Mac OS which does not have any freedom to change
something as many users want.

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.04 Noto Sans CJK is the default font for rendering
  Chinese. After having struggled with a few issues, I believe that we
  finally achieved the desired improvement of the rendering experience.

  So now I ask: Is there an interest from Japanese and Korean users to
  consider a switch to Noto Sans? (The fonts are already installed for
  all users on Ubuntu 16.04.)
