Hi Gunnar, I just installed ubuntu 14.04.1 today. :)
However, in my system, the output of the fc-match is $ LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 fc-match 'sans-serif' DroidSans.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular" and the sorted matching font list is $ LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 fc-match -s 'sans-serif' DroidSans.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing TW" "Light" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing HK" "Light" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai TW" "Book" DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Bold" Waree.ttf: "Waree" "Book" DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: "Droid Sans Fallback" "Regular" And you can see Droid Sans Fallback is far away from Droid Sans, so the CJK characters of sans-serif style will display as AR PL UMing which is a serif style font. Any edit to font family name of "Droid Sans Fallback" won't make it become real "Droid Sans". They are still two instances. If we DO want to use "Droid Sans" instead of "Droid Sans Fallback" here. The only way is to bind them together to make them as one font. -- 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/1335482 Title: Droid Sans no longer preferred font for Chinese Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “language-selector” source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] In the 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf files we try to make Droid Sans the preferred font in case of a Chinese locale. However, suddenly this seems to not work any longer. The number of affected users is significant. [Test Case] How to reproduce: $ sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8 $ LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 fc-match 'sans-serif' After the change, the response is the expected DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular" Before the change, the response is something else. [Regression Potential] This makes the intended (and previously working) behaviour effective. No undesired side effects identified.
