A discussion with Aron Xu and Sebastien Bacher on IRC resulted in the idea that we create an additional binary package and move some of the font files to that package. So now there are two .deb files in the PPA: fonts-noto-cjk and fonts-noto-cjk-extras.
fonts-noto-cjk installs these font files: NotoSansCJKjp-Bold.otf NotoSansCJKjp-Regular.otf NotoSansCJKkr-Bold.otf NotoSansCJKkr-Regular.otf NotoSansCJKsc-Bold.otf NotoSansCJKsc-Regular.otf NotoSansCJKtc-Bold.otf NotoSansCJKtc-Regular.otf With those files, the size of the .deb file is 85 MiB (the size of the .deb currently in the archive is 71 MiB). fonts-noto-cjk-extras, which is optional, installs the other 28 font files. fonts-noto-cjk-extras will not be included in the ISO files, but Chinese users will be prompted to install it via Language Support. ** Also affects: language-selector (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: language-selector (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: fonts-noto-cjk (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: fonts-noto-cjk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: fonts-noto-cjk (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: fonts-noto-cjk (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Changed in: fonts-noto-cjk (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: fonts-noto-cjk (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: fonts-noto-cjk (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-noto-cjk in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575555 Title: Chrome/Chromium use "Thin" as default font weight Status in fonts-noto-cjk package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in fonts-noto-cjk source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in language-selector source package in Xenial: Triaged Bug description: The package seems to only "thin" variant of the font, which makes it very unreadable in applications such as Chrome (when it has to fall back on Chinese fonts on a mostly-English page).
