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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your comment, Seong-ho Cho.

Default fonts for CJK languages is handled independently in Ubuntu, and
there is no requirement to follow Debian in this respect, even if Debian
provides the fonts packages. So if you need more time to discuss this in
the Korean community, then let's not change the Korean font at this
time.

I'm going to proceed with changing the Japanese fonts only.

Title:
  Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.)
