Public bug reported: I split this bug out from LP: #1719934
Summary ======= Move fonts-indic from supported to desktop-common as Recommends Move fonts-noto-cjk, fonts-nanum, and fonts-liberation from desktop to desktop-common as Recommends Details ======= Indic ----- desktop-common in 14.04 had recommends for: * (ttf-indic-fonts-core) * (ttf-punjabi-fonts) https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu- seeds/platform.trusty/view/head:/desktop-common#L89 But those were dropped before 16.04 LTS. There's a description of ttf-indic-fonts-core in the changelog: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-indic-fonts/1:0.5.14ubuntu1 sudo apt install fonts-indic gives these numbers: Need to get 3,315 kB of archives. After this operation, 11.6 MB of additional disk space will be used. The other 3 fonts ----------------- The comment says there were "space reasons" to have some fonts listed in desktop instead of desktop-common but I believe that doesn't apply any more. (All the Desktop flavors appear to ship those fonts except Lubuntu doesn't include fonts-liberation but Lubuntu Next does so that seems a mistake to not include that font.) https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu- seeds/ubuntu.artful/view/head:/desktop#L34 ** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: artful ** Branch linked: lp:~jbicha/ubuntu-seeds/drop-fonts-moved-to-desktop- common -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720809 Title: Move fonts to desktop-common Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I split this bug out from LP: #1719934 Summary ======= Move fonts-indic from supported to desktop-common as Recommends Move fonts-noto-cjk, fonts-nanum, and fonts-liberation from desktop to desktop-common as Recommends Details ======= Indic ----- desktop-common in 14.04 had recommends for: * (ttf-indic-fonts-core) * (ttf-punjabi-fonts) https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu- seeds/platform.trusty/view/head:/desktop-common#L89 But those were dropped before 16.04 LTS.
