Specifically, given a config file which <prefer>s notocjk: <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Noto Sans CJK SC</family> <family>Noto Sans CJK TC</family> </prefer> </alias> Fontconfig will produce a match like: $ fc-match --verbose Pattern has 38 elts (size 48) family: "Noto Sans CJK SC"(s) "Noto Sans CJK SC DemiLight"(s) familylang: "en"(s) "en"(s) style: "DemiLight"(w) "Regular"(w) stylelang: "en"(w) "en"(w) fullname: "Noto Sans CJK SC DemiLight"(w) fullnamelang: "en"(w) [...] Now here is the problem. By preferring the preferredFamily "Noto Sans CJK SC", fontconfig ended up also preferring "Noto Sans CJK SC DemiLight", and matched "Noto Sans CJK SC DemiLight" "Regular" for the implicit "Regular".

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.
