Comment 16 for bug 1173571

Thanks for the tests and analyses!

I have prepared a language-selector branch and a ttf-wqy-microhei branch with the changes you propose. Please check them out carefully to help prevent misunderstandings.

There is a but, though. ttf-wqy-microhei is already in the main pocket of the Ubuntu archive, while fonts-droid is currently in universe. Before committing the proposed language-selector changes, fonts-droid needs to get included in main through a special process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess

This is doable, of course, but before we start a MIR application, I'd like to ask if basically the same appearance can be achieved by using wqy-microhei instead, i.e. as you initially suggested. If it can, the wqy-microhei path seems to be preferable, after all.
