[Bug 1458368] Re: some language-selector fontconfig should not exist

[Aron Xu]

Don't think dropping that locale-hacked fontconfig configuration is
feasible because it will mess up system with other fonts installed for
that locale - this is true because users may have propetary fonts
installed themselves (and it's common) which does not have a fontconfig
configuration acommpanying it.

As for the Noto Sans, let's postpone the discussion until it's available
in the repository.

Title:
  some language-selector fontconfig should not exist

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  we know
  29-language-selector-ko-kr.conf
  69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf
  69-language-selector-ka-ge.conf
  69-language-selector-ko-kr.conf
  is deleted from the package for long time ago
  and the fonts config below should be deleted as well:
  69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf
  69-language-selector-zh-hk.conf
  69-language-selector-zh-mo.conf
  69-language-selector-zh-sg.conf
  69-language-selector-zh-tw.conf

  once the specific language environment are set, it binds strongly and overides all other font
  other fonts config won't work until those lang selector config no more exist.
  now ubuntu seeds with fonts-droid and fonts-wqy-microhei package
  they already set the sans-serif and monospace fonts for zh lang tag.
  or maybe those language selector config can be used for binding serif fonts.

  And also i will report another bug about replacing DroidSans/WenQuanYi
  fonts with Noto Sans CJK(Source Han Sans).
