Hello tomoe_musashi, I believe Noto Sans CJK is one of the best fonts available in free/libre licenses for Japanese. However I'm not convinced to set the Noto Sans CJK as default yet and I would like to know your motivations here.

For Japanese locale, what makes you so confident when compared to fonts- takao, the current default font? > 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.

Can you explain a bit how F13 dropped the files? In Ubuntu, language- selector no longer manages fontconfig files. Instead font packages have fontconfig files, e.g. /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-fonts-takao-pgothic.conf in fonts-takao-pgothic. Even with Noto Sans CJK I think we still need to choose font family name per locale such as "Noto Sans CJK JP" for ja_JP locale. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1468027 Title: change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK Status in fonts-noto package in Ubuntu: New Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New 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.
