[Bug 1173571] Re: please add wenquanyi micro hei settings back with 69-language-selector-zh-tw.conf

[Cheng-Chia Tseng]

Well, in Chinese reader's eyes, it is much more readible and pretty for
WQY Micro Hei than WQY Zen Hei.

The strokes of each character provided by WQY Zen Hei are firstly
compozed by programs, then those strokes later adjusted by manual as it
is not that readible. WQY Micro Hei is derived from Google Droid Sans
Fallback, and being added some character it did not provide.

Although WQY Zen Hei does has higher coverage on Han characters, WQY
Micro Hei is still prefered as the first high quility freefont for
Chinese font so far. I don't know why we now palce WQY Zen Hei or Droid
Sans Fallback as the first font with those zh-*.conf. What is the main
reason? I would suggest using Micro Hei instead of Zen Hei in this case.

I agree with clean up those fontconfig setting in language support. Of
course, we can assign or bind Micro Hei / Micro Hei Mono to existing
Sans or Monospace with is matched by fontconfig settings. It is fine
with this way as you think that this is the right and best way.

Title:
  please add wenquanyi micro hei settings back with 69-language-
  selector-zh-tw.conf

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In quantal and previous version of ubuntu, we use WenQuanYi Micro Hei
  as default Chinese (Traditional) fonts for Sans, Monospace. However,
  the default font is set to WenQuanYi Zen Hei in 0.110 version provided
  by Raring.

  It is a regression that most of Chinese (Traditional) users don't
  appreciate this change. We would like to use WenQuanYi Micro Hei as
  before.

  I changed the conf provided by raring to fit we Chinese (Traditional)
  users more to have WenQuanYi Micro Hei back. Please accept the patch.
