Correction: that oss-desktop-korean mail [1] is not only intended for Debian, though I created that group and also I am a Debian developer. (Actually Debian doesn't have distribution-wide custom font config.) I already filed the change request to the upstream (fontconfig) [2].
I prefer Noto Sans CJK. As I described in the mail, Noto Sans CJK has many advantages over Nanum fonts. On the other hand, Nanum fonts has many flaws but it is unmaintained in upstream and its OFL license makes the flaws to difficult to fix. Please remember that the discussion is about providing reasonable *default* font to Korean users, not about Nanum font deletion or about using a font you don't like.

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu 16.04 Noto Sans CJK is the default font for rendering Chinese. After having struggled with a few issues, I believe that we finally achieved the desired improvement of the rendering experience. So now I ask: Is there an interest from Japanese and Korean users to consider a switch to Noto Sans? (The fonts are already installed for all users on Ubuntu 16.04.)
