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

Yes, (only tested with live env) according to fc-match "Regular" is picked up over "DemiLight" in both zh_TW and zh_CN. TakaoPGothic is the default for ja_JP.

However, for Firefox, this hack in /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-language-
selector-zh-??.conf doesn't seem to work. According to the inspection
tool of Firefox, "AR PL UMing CN/TW", "Noto Sans CJK SC/TC Bold" and
"DemiLight" are picked up.

UMing is second to TakaoPGothic so could be a problem in ja_JP on serif?
(UMing does not have enough glyph coverage in JP)

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.
