Without that file, fontconfig will always choose the JP variant for CJK languages because JP is before KR, SC, TC in alphabetic order.

```sh
$ fc-match sans:lang=zh-cn
NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK JP" "Regular"
```

Without that file, fontconfig will always choose the JP variant for CJK languages because JP is before KR, SC, TC in alphabetic order, these fonts all support multiple languages but actually same Chinese character doesn't have to be same glyph in these fonts.

```sh
$ fc-match sans:lang=zh-cn
NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK JP" "Regular"
```
