[Fontconfig] [PATCH] conf.d: Add font family for Noto CJK fonts

[Boyuan Yang]

Dear fontconfig list,

I took a look at fontconfig's development and found that bugzilla for
fontconfig is not accessible [1]. The page says " Sorry, entering a bug into
the product fontconfig has been disabled.". It seems that a transition from
cgit + bugzilla to GitLab is ongoing; before the transition settles down, I
think the best way of proposing a patch for fontconfig should be sending an
email here.

Noto CJK fonts [2] provides sans-serif, serif and monospace fonts for CJK
(Chinese, Japanese and Korean) characters. I think it might be better for
fontconfig to properly recongnize them (as sans-serif, serif or monospace).
This patch would modify conf.d/40-nonlatin.conf to register those font's
generic family name.

Plain text patch pasted as follows. A patch file is provided as well as
attachment.

    conf.d: Add font family for Noto CJK fonts

    Noto CJK fonts provides sans-serif, serif and monospace fonts
    for CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) characters. This commit
    would update 40-nonlatin.conf and register those font's generic
    family name to make sure the priority is reasonable.
