[Bug 1468027] Re: change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Yes, tomoe_musashi, they may well be related somehow. I'm not sure,
though, that "Noto Sans CJK SC" would be picked in case of a Japanese
locale, considering that "Noto Sans CJK JP" exists.

I decided to let language-selector-common provide the contents of the
proposed fonts-noto-cjk patch, and hence removed the latter. I also
added a couple of Japanese line to it.

Just uploaded language-selector, so we will soon be able to test.

Title:
  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

Status in Fontconfig:
  Confirmed
Status in fonts-noto-cjk package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
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.
