I didn't even notice "JP" first. This made me fear that
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/64-language-selector-prefer.conf has something to do with it. But the issue with too thin characters in Chrome/Chromium is there also with a TC locale:

$ locale | grep LC_CTYPE
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8
$ fc-match
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Regular"
$

So it's probably unrelated to that.


Isn't this issue really weird? Shouldn't Google make sure that their own web browser handles their own fonts properly?

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.
