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

The strange thing with my fontforge (well, some old msys build) is that
I can't find any OS/2 table, while https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-
cjk/issues/18 clearly mentions something related to os2.usWeightClass.

Although doing `grep` still points me to the 'Regular' value in
DemiLight, you might want to use something that works (perhaps a newer
release of fontforge?) to make sure what I have reported is really the
case. It should be helpful to check out the OS/2 table too.

Title:
  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

Status in fonts-noto-cjk package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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.
