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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Hmm.. We are still in the beginning of the 18.04 development cycle. One
way to deal with it might be to do it now, then test, fix and evaluate
during a few months, and reverse back to Nanum before the release of
18.04 if we'd fail to make Noto fonts look good for Korean.

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.)
