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

[Jeff Bai]

So hi everyone...

After letting Arthur use my computer for quite a while... well whatever.

I've updated to 2.11.94 on AOSC OS, and here's what I've got.

Things are getting weird aren't they. But I do need to point out that

Title:
  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

Status in Fontconfig:
  Confirmed
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  New
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.
