[Bug 1335482] Re: Droid Sans no longer preferred font for Chinese

[Cheng-Chia Tseng]

However, if I change "Droid Sans" to "Droid Sans Fallback", and I can
get sas-serif as "Droid Sans Fallback" although it is still different
from yours.

$ LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 fc-match -a 'sans-serif' | head -n 20
DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: "Droid Sans Fallback" "Regular"
uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing TW" "Light"

Title:
  Droid Sans no longer preferred font for Chinese

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “language-selector” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  In the 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf files we try to make Droid Sans
  the preferred font in case of a Chinese locale. However, suddenly this
  seems to not work any longer. The number of affected users is
  significant.

  [Test Case]

  How to reproduce:

  $ sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8
  $ LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 fc-match 'sans-serif'

  After the change, the response is the expected

  DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"

  Before the change, the response is something else.

  [Regression Potential]

  This makes the intended (and previously working) behaviour effective.
  No undesired side effects identified.
