Title:
  Some Simplified Chinese characters are displayed in their variant
  (Japanese) forms

Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Simplified Chinese characters like “复” and “门” are displayed in their
  variant (Japanese) forms.

  This issue is caused by the default font configuration (fontconfig) in
  Ubuntu, where the language priority in the configuration file places
  Noto Sans CJK JP (marked in red) before Noto Sans CJK SC (marked in an
  oval). As a result, the system prioritizes the JP font when rendering
  text.

  Solution: Modify the configuration file /etc/fonts/conf.d/64-language-
  selector-prefer.conf to adjust the priority.

  This bug still exists on Ubuntu 24.0.2
