With the new .conf file, the interesting fonts appear in this order for me when running with a non-CJKV locale on a system where the Chinese language support (with the fonts-arphic-* packages) is present:
$ fc-match -a sans-serif | grep -iE 'noto|takao|ar pl' | head -22 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" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Regular" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "DemiLight" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Medium" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Thin" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Light" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Bold" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK TC" "Black" fonts-japanese-gothic.ttf: "TakaoPGothic" "Regular" TakaoPGothic.ttf: "TakaoPGothic" "Regular" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai CN" "Book" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai HK" "Book" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai TW" "Book" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing CN" "Light" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing HK" "Light" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing TW" "Light" $ fc-match -a monospace | grep -iE 'noto|takao|ar pl' | head -11 NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans Mono CJK SC" "Regular" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans Mono CJK SC" "Bold" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans Mono CJK TC" "Regular" NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans Mono CJK TC" "Bold" TakaoGothic.ttf: "TakaoGothic" "Regular" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai CN" "Book" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai HK" "Book" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai TW" "Book" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing CN" "Light" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing HK" "Light" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing TW" "Light" I don't know how to figure out if this works, or if the Chinese "Noto Sans CJK" fonts messes it up somehow when rendering Japanese contents. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1468027 Title: change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK Status in Fontconfig: Confirmed Status in fonts-noto-cjk package in Ubuntu: New 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.
