> Would that be a hinting configuration issue?

You pointed it out clearly!

Previous takao font has following configuration.

----
    <match target="font">
        <test name="family" compare="contains">
            <string>TakaoGothic</string>
        </test>
        <test name="pixelsize" compare="less_eq">
            <double>18</double>
        </test>
        <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
            <const>hintnone</const>
        </edit>
        <edit name="embeddedbitmap">
             <bool>false</bool>
        </edit>
    </match>

I add above fontconfig settings for Noto (Sans|Seirf|Mono) CJK JP. 
It works very well in my environment.

Title:
  Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.04 Noto Sans CJK is the default font for rendering
  Chinese. After having struggled with a few issues, I believe that we
  finally achieved the desired improvement of the rendering experience.

  So now I ask: Is there an interest from Japanese and Korean users to
  consider a switch to Noto Sans? (The fonts are already installed for
  all users on Ubuntu 16.04.)
