Maybe there is a possible simple solution, after all.
As an experiment I added a line to 69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf:
--- 69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf.old
+++ 69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf
@@ -27,6 +27,7 @@
<string>zh-cn</string>
</test>
<edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">
+ <string>Noto Sans CJK SC Regular</string>
<string>Noto Sans CJK SC</string>
<string>WenQuanYi Zen Hei</string>
<string>HYSong</string>
That made a difference:
$ LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 fc-match -a | head -7
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Regular"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "DemiLight"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Medium"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Thin"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Light"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Bold"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Black"

Title:
change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK
Status in Fontconfig:
Confirmed
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.
