Public bug reported:
Since Ubuntu 18.04 the intended default Chinese font for serif is "Noto
Serif CJK {SC,TC}".
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/0.182
At the same time we install the fonts-arphic-uming package for Chinese
users. fonts-arphic-uming installs the fontconfig configuration file 64
-arphic-uming.conf. That file includes strong bindings to "AR PL UMing"
and "DejaVu Serif" which conflict with the Ubuntu specific 69-language-
selector-zh-*.conf files.
Example:
$ LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 fc-match serif
uming.ttc: "AR PL UMing CN" "Light"
I would have expected that command to return:
NotoSerifCJK-Regular.ttc: "Noto Serif CJK SC" "Regular"
The issue was brought to my attention through the Ask Ubuntu question
<https://askubuntu.com/q/1154517>.
Given that we handle the font configuration for Chinese users via Ubuntu
specific files, 64-arphic-uming.conf does not fit well on Ubuntu.
Dropping the related symlink in /etc/fonts/conf.d appears to be a
reasonable solution.
