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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

As a test I built fontconfig 2.11.94 in a PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/fontconfig-test2

I don't know yet if it would be possible to have it accepted for the
16.04 archive. What I know is that it would fix 'the Demilight issue'
without the current workaround in the language-selector .conf files.

Would appreciate if some of you could test it. I'm especially interested
in knowing if this fontconfig version also fixes the undesirable Firefox
behaviour wrt font weights.

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.
