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

[Cheng-Chia Tseng]

Using subset OTFs is suggested for OS exept MacOS and Windows by the
README file from Source Han Sans (same as Noto Sans CJK).

However, as I stated previously, I believe using Super OTC is a way to
find where the apps in Linux world which has some problems dealing with
this "super font," and that helps shape a better Linux world in the
future. People find the problem, report the problem, and the problem be
fixed one day.

Both ways are fine though. The system still has some places to be
improved to support Super OTC better while Subset OTFs require more
space and more packages. To be the first to find the problems and work
with upstreams to fix them? Or just do as the official recommendation to
get the better result and serve users better first?

Any thoughts on this?

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.
