Thanks, Yuan Chao. Let me try so summarize then: There is an issue with fontconfig, so it by default picks "Demilight" over "Regular" (bug #1556457). We have tried to work around this problem in 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf and 64-language-selector-prefer.conf (the latter for e.g. an English locale). The workaround is not effective in Firefox, though.
I'm out of ideas. Is there anything we can do but waiting for bug #1556457 to be fixed? (Assuming that will address the Firefox issue...)

(UMing does not have enough glyph coverage in JP) Possibly, but if so it wouldn't be a new problem. With the Japanese locale, and with full Japanese language support installed, TakaoPMincho is there for serif. -- 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: Fix Released Status in kubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xubuntu-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.
