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

[Aron Xu]

If I understand correctly, when the user language is set to English,
thus none of 69-language specific configurations are active, this
configuration would take effect. Current configuration will make the ja
variant take precedence over any of the Chinese ones, while the default
of noto looks to be Chinese SC - which was exactly the cause of the
issue for Japanese. Overriding it with ja as the first one will lead to
similar issue to Chinese characters and I believe that's not what we
want.

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.
