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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Yeah.. I have no idea why those changes were not upstreamed. The
explanation might well be that nobody bothered to do it.

Anyway, Noto Sans has been the default for Chinese since Xenial, so
until somebody says otherwise, I'm going to assume that the Chinese
users are happy without similar hinting configuration.

See you later on this matter.

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.)
