Umm… The good news is they seen to point to the same problem, and on
JeffBai's machine that's almost how the config was written (without
language matching, etc.). Anyway that works as a good test case...

Nice workaround. Do you mind testing other weights too?

$ LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 fc-match sans-serif:weight=bold -a | head -7

If bold works, you can assume others work too, I think. If you really
want to make sure, you can try out all the possible weight values in
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html,
shown under <const>.

Title:
  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

Status in Fontconfig:
  Confirmed
Status in fonts-noto-cjk package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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.
