For the "门" issue Dhoulmagus mentioned, please see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/1468027 Gunnar mentioned that the Noto Sans CJK JP has the first priority in a fc-match listing, and there is no reason to prefer Chinese over Japanese just for the sake of it.

[Bug 1575555] Re: Chrome/Chromium use "Thin" as default font weight

GH, thank you for putting this in. At standard body text font size, around 14px for websites, thin width is a lot less scan-able. You have to make an effort to read it. The feeling is similar to reading "Courier New" body text. You can read it if you make an effort, and you can get accustomed to

A discussion with Aron Xu and Sebastien Bacher on IRC resulted in the idea that we create an additional binary package and move some of the font files to that package. So now there are two .deb files in the PPA: fonts-noto-cjk and fonts-noto-cjk-extras. fonts-noto-cjk installs these font files:

The result of the Taiwan method is to render Traditional Chinese using Noto Sans CJK [JP] Medium, which is apparently still abnormal. But I don't want Regular Only... so I did not try the first approach either. And substitute /usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto/NotoSansCJK.ttc with the All-in-one

@Dhoulmagus In your case maybe you can try to replace the font file installed by fonts-noto-cjk directly as a temporary measure. According to http://askubuntu.com/a/762910/391188 and http://takeson.blogspot.com/2016/04/noto-sans-cjk-thin-font-issue.html this method should work, though I haven't

I'm not sure that's the case... As I described in the original report, once I uninstalled the package and manually downloaded NotoCJK from Google, the issue is fixed, even though I didn't make any changes in the Chrome font settings (the default font is still "Liberation Sans" now). In my original
