Another way to improve the unreadible Chinese characters is to install
Droid Sans Fallback and use it instead of WenQuanYi Zen Hei.

The reason to use Droid Sans Fallback instead of WenQaun Yi Micro Hei is
that WenQuanYi almostly stopped the development progress for about three
years while Droid Sans Fallback does not. Plus, WenQuanYi Micro Hei is
at first derived from Droid Sans. Now Droid Sans Fallback covers much
more characters than WenQuanYi Micro Hei. Moreover, the quality provided
by Droid Sans is out of professional font designers, while WenQuanYi is
mostly from online public invovement.

So in this way, the improvement prososal is

1. make Droid Sans Fallback as the first Chinese character providing font listed in all 69-language-selector-zh-xx.conf. (Yeah, I have checked that only part of the confs list Droid Sans Fallback at first)
2. make Droid Sans Fallback font a dependent package for language-support of all Chinese locales. (the font is not installed by default in raring in all ubuntu derives)

Please give some feedbacks, and I belive we, all Traditional Chinese
users will be appreciate that.

Title:
  please change wenquanyi micro hei 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.
