According to the README pdf file (https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans/raw/release/SourceHanSansReadMe.pdf) of Adobe Source Han Sans, and the experience within LibreOffice, I have to say that Super OTC file is not well supported in Linux desktop.

It is suggested using Regional Subset OTF files in Linux for now; however, that will take us a lot of space to keep all the OTF files. This is what Fedora provides for CN and TW locales, 7 files for about 39.6MB for TW locale and about 58.6MB for CN locale.

The other way is to endure the poor support of Super OTC and file related issues to those infected packages. And this will be a hard way for us to go. It will benefit the ecosystem better in the long run, but I don't recommend this way.
