Not sure. Some fontconfig tracing env vars might be useful for the Skia
LegacyCreateTypeface part I guess...

In addition to the weight matching problem, the screenshot for Chromium
in #113 gives the JP variant instead of TW.  Perhaps I should try to get
someone to reproduce this in other distros and file a report upstream...
Not sure about what the title will be.

> Don't Chrome and Chromium care about fontconfig, but do it their own
way?

Chrome seems to provide some level of per-script font handling[1].
Actually Google Chrome gives a link to an extension called ‘Advanced
Font Settings’ (caclkomlalccbpcdllchkeecicepbmbm) in its font menu...

  [1]: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/fontSettings

Regarding the JP problem, it seems that Google Chrome is trying to do
the script recognition itself. This happens on my Windows 10 machine too
-- Chinese comments on GitHub and Tweets are all rendered using ‘Inziu
Roboto JP’, my default Japanese script font set with ‘Advanced Font
Settings’.  Webpages with explicit language/script declarations like
https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/ work fine since they don't need any
recognition by Chrome (will anyone confirm this on Ubuntu?)

It seems that some Chrome font settings can be pre-hacked by editing
webkit.webprefs.fonts. The 'Zyyy' (default script) one found in chrome
settings is stored in the file 'Preferences' -- perhaps some settings
for other scripts can be filled in here too?

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.
