Title:
  Change default Amharic font from Abyssinica SIL to Noto Serif Ethiopic

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Description of problem:

  Abyssinica SIL is an old font. It's barely legible and breaks in most
  apps. Noto Serif Ethiopic, on the other hand, is a modern and well
  designed font.

  Noto Serif Ethiopic is distributed with the Open Font License, so
  packaging it won't be a problem.
