Bug Description

I hope present CJK interface default fonts can be replaced with Source Han Sans (http://blog.typekit.com/2014/07/15/introducing-source-han-sans/), which is more beautiful, well-designed, free, open source, pan-cjk fonts, more importantly, It has 7 font-weights, much more than present font, which only has one font-weight, (In my opinion, CJK font display should at least have two font-weights, regular and bold, not like present font, which makes users harder to catch the content's key points(which should be shown in REAL bold font-weight, instead of system automatically produced FAKE one)).
 It can also help improving the UX of CJK interface.

Please note that the default for Chinese is being switched in xenial from "Droid Sans Fallback" to "Noto Sans" fonts (bug #1468027). Considering that, the timing for starting a discussion about some other font isn't the best. Closing.

Btw, “Source Hans” is exactly the same as "Noto Sans", just named differently when released from different vendors.
