Just played with the new 64-language-selector-prefer.conf from PPA in a live-session with English locale.
It didn't affect language-specified content, SChinese contents are in Noto SC and TChinese contents are in Noto TC(Firefox)
non-lanuage-specified content will just render according to the new config file.
Although i think its not a workaround to fix the ubiquity bug, but its better and acceptable.
Here comes a problem, in non-CJK locale,  Firefox uses TakaoPGohtic to render non-lang-specified content, even with the 64-language-selector-prefer.conf config file, it also need to be changed to Noto else it breaks the consistency.

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.
