[Bug 1468027] Re: change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

In an attempt to fix bug #1540063 better I'm playing with variants of
the new 64-language-selector-prefer.conf file via a PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/japanese-fonts

However, there is a risk that the current test version of the file
affects rendering of Chinese contents adversely under a non-Chinese
locale. Therefore I'd appreciate if a few Chinese users could install
language-selector from the PPA and let us know how Chinese characters
look in a session with a non-Chinese locale.

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.
