Description: Old preferred fonts are outdated and not maintained while some new modern fonts are added. This patch is to clean the traditional Chinese (2 variants as zh-tw and zh-hk) preferred fonts to reflect the situation now of 2017. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open LibreOffice and check the preferred fonts in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Basic Fonts (Asian) dialogue Actual Results: The fonts LibreOffice picked for traditional Chinese are outdated. In Linux, it chooses 文泉驛微米黑 for Heading and AR PL UMing TW for the others. In MacOS, it chooses LiHei Pro for Heading and LiSong Pro for the others. In Windows, it chooses 微軟正黑體 for Heading and 新細明體 for the others. Expected Results: In Linux, it should choose 思源黑體 for Heading and 思源宋體 for the others. In MacOS, it should choose 蘋方-繁 for Heading and 宋體-繁 for the others. And in Windows platform, there is no need to change.

Dear Cheng-Chia Tseng, Thanks for the patch. Could you please submit it to gerrit as described here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/gerrit/SubmitPatch?
Thanks for the information, I will try to follow the guide.
@Matthew F, Mark H, Patch touches both zh-tw, zh-hk but not zh-mo which to my understanding would need similar "refresh" of default traditional fonts. And while not proposed here, is there a need to do similar refresh for the locales using simplified fonts, i.e. zh-cn, zh-sg Question though, as with some of the western font defaults, would there be font metric issues we'd need to worry about with such a change? I don't work in Chinese enough to have much of a feel for the current range of popular fonts cross platform. @Eike, Kendy, Andras--just an fyi to you both (unless you are up to date with Asian typography, then feel free). =-ref-= https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu?#276
Oh, I haven't noticed there is a zh-mo locale. If it is going to be refreshed as well, just copy the zh-hk ones. They share the most of the fonts, though zh-mo is rarely used.
