Yeah, this is strange. When I first changed to "Droid Sans Fallback" in 69-language-selector-zh-tw.conf, I got this:
$ LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 fc-match -s 'sans-serif' | head -n 20 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" DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Oblique" DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Bold Oblique" Verdana.ttf: "Verdana" "Normal" Arial.ttf: "Arial" "Normal" Waree.ttf: "Waree" "Book" DroidNaskh-Regular.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular" DroidSansEthiopic-Regular.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular" DroidSansHebrew-Regular.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular" DroidSansJapanese.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular" DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular" ukai.ttc: "AR PL UKai CN" "Book" uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing CN" "Light" NotoSansDevanagari-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans Devanagari" "Regular" KhmerOS.ttf: "Khmer OS" "Regular" MuktiNarrow.ttf: "Mukti Narrow" "Regular" I.e. fontconfig seemed to not understand at all. Then, after I had changed things back and forth when working with bug #1351092, suddenly I was able to reproduce the behaviour you describe! Now I fear that the fix of this bug report was a mistake. :( I suggest that we leave this bug report, and continue talking at bug #1351092. Your comments on the idea there would be much appreciated. -- 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.
