The fonts-noto-cjk version in the PPA https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/fonts-noto-cjk installs 7 weight specific font files instead of a single "super" file. This works around the Chromium/Chrome issue. Note: It has been fixed in yakkety via autosync, so "backporting" yakkety (as an SRU) instead of uploading from the PPA is an option. [Test Case] To reproduce the bug: * Install Chromium or Google Chrome. * Go to <http://www.gamer.com.tw> and notice the very thin characters. * Install fonts-noto-cjk from the PPA and notice the difference. [Regression Potential] This is about another font packaging form, without any change in glyph coverage, so the the regression risk should be low. [Original 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). I had to remove the package and then manually download the font from Google website and install it to make the regular weight available Release: 16.04 LTS Package Version: 1.004+repack1-1 Expected: All weights of the noto cjk font to be installed Happened: Only the "thin" weight of the font seems to be installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-noto-cjk/+bug/1575555/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
