Trying Noto Font in Ubuntu 14.04

Google and Adobe developed new Open Source fonts recently. I installed Noto Sans on my Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop. The screenshot below shows three different fonts displaying in a Facebook page in Chrome browser (Ver. 36.0.1985.125) in Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop. The upper screenshot is Google's Noto Sans Traditional Chinese font. Middle one is Microsoft JhengHei (a M$ font from Windows 7). The lower one is WenQuanYi Zen Hei (another open source font come with Ubuntu). You can see Noto Sans performs well. Now, I no longer need M$ fonts for my Linux box.
