Set ttf-wqy-microhei as the default font in Ubuntu China image

[Lei Wang]

Build: Ubuntu China image 2012-04-26

In Ubuntu China image, it seems like the ttf-wqy-zenhei is the default fonts, however ttf-wqy-microhei is better than that in shape, and most Chinese users are using microhei as their default fonts in stock Ubuntu,

Note:
make a symlink 69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf points to ../conf.avail/69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf might fix the problem

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.

../conf.avail/69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf is part of the "fontconfig-voodoo" bad hack that we currently do in language-selector. That is covered by https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-q-deprecate-language-selector .

Adding the font package is a wishlist for ubuntu-defaults-zh-cn. However, the package is very big, so we might run into CD size trouble for precise.

It seems that both WQY MicroHei and WQY ZenHei stuck now, i.e., there is little, if any, new development.
The current state is that WQY ZenHei has more glyphs available (~27,000 VS ~20,000).

I wonder whether you proposed change would cause regression for some users.
