As long as fonts-droid is used for Chinese in the way it is, I can't think of a default configuration right now which would achieve that. Some kind of personal configuration changes will be needed. > Also, a solution was given to me by Kazushi on askubuntu.com > <http://askubuntu.com> there > http://askubuntu.com/questions/536462/defautl-kanji-japanese-font-wrong-in-ubuntu-14-04-how-to-change-it/537789#537789 > (His answer about copying 69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf > <https://github.com/wzssyqa/language-selector-im-config/blob/master/fontconfig/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf>) Well, that Ask Ubuntu answer includes a couple of misconceptions, but it indeed provides a couple of solutions. I think that the single step which made fonts-droid interfere with TakaoPGothic (or other Japanese fonts) was the introduction of 65-droid-sans-fallback.conf as a fix of https://launchpad.net/bugs/1227034 Hence another possible solution (provided that you don't care too much about Chinese rendering) might be to either disable that fontconfig file by removing the symlink: sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-droid-sans-fallback.conf or remove the whole fonts-droid package: sudo apt-get purge fonts-droid (untested) -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
