Another way to improve the unreadible Chinese characters is to install Droid Sans Fallback and use it instead of WenQuanYi Zen Hei.

The reason to use Droid Sans Fallback instead of WenQaun Yi Micro Hei is that WenQuanYi almostly stopped the development progress for about three years while Droid Sans Fallback does not. Plus, WenQuanYi Micro Hei is at first derived from Droid Sans. Now Droid Sans Fallback covers much more characters than WenQuanYi Micro Hei. Moreover, the quality provided by Droid Sans is out of professional font designers, while WenQuanYi is mostly from online public invovement.

So in this way, the improvement prososal is

1. make Droid Sans Fallback as the first Chinese character providing font listed in all 69-language-selector-zh-xx.conf. (Yeah, I have checked that only part of the confs list Droid Sans Fallback at first)
2. make Droid Sans Fallback font a dependent package for language-support of all Chinese locales. (the font is not installed by default in raring in all ubuntu derives)

Please give some feedbacks, and I belive we, all Traditional Chinese users will be appreciate that.
