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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

I'm getting back about Chinese and Japanese rendering with a non-CJKV
locale. We need to reach a conclusion as regards the default
configuration.

Currently 64-language-selector-prefer.conf looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
        <alias>
                <family>sans-serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Noto Sans CJK JP Regular</family>
                        <family>Noto Sans CJK JP</family>
                        <family>Noto Sans CJK SC Regular</family>
                        <family>Noto Sans CJK SC</family>
                        <family>Noto Sans CJK TC Regular</family>
                        <family>Noto Sans CJK TC</family>
                 </prefer>
        </alias>
        <alias>
                <family>monospace</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Noto Sans Mono CJK JP</family>
                        <family>Noto Sans Mono CJK SC</family>
                        <family>Noto Sans Mono CJK TC</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
</fontconfig>

That configuration seems to be an improvement for Japanese (bug
#1540063). I'm assuming that the Japanese lines in the file have nothing
to do with 'the Takao in Firefox issue' which tomoe_musashi mentioned in
comment #81. (Please let me know if I'm wrong here. If I'm not, I take
it that we can keep the current version of 64-language-selector-
prefer.conf in Ubuntu 16.04.)

Possibly 'the Takao in Firefox issue' is a Firefox bug.

@tomoe_musashi: You mentioned that modifying 65-nonlatin.conf may fix
that issue. Can you please let us know about the change you made?

FYI I filed bug #1560548, but I don't think it needs to be fixed in
16.04.
