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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Ok, Mingye, it seems as if I stand corrected, and that it is an issue in
the version of fontconfig in the Ubuntu archive.

Nevertheless, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will be released in a few weeks.
Considering that it's "feature freeze", I doubt there is a plan to
update fontconfig for 16.04.

At the same time I happened to find a way to work around the issue and
make "Regular" the default weight via the .conf files, which is what
Xhacker stated as desirable.

What do others think?

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.
