[Bug 1581160] Re: Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

[Mitsuya Shibata]

Hi Gunnar and all,

Finally, NotoSerif fonts are included at 1.004+repack3-1 and synced to
artful at Jun.

I (as a Japanese LoCo team member) think that the concerns has been solved about Japanese default transition.
It is time to switch Japanese default fonts from Takao to Noto.

# And sorry for my very late late late reply....

Thanks,

Title:
  Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.04 Noto Sans CJK is the default font for rendering
  Chinese. After having struggled with a few issues, I believe that we
  finally achieved the desired improvement of the rendering experience.

  So now I ask: Is there an interest from Japanese and Korean users to
  consider a switch to Noto Sans? (The fonts are already installed for
  all users on Ubuntu 16.04.)
