[Bug 1575555] Re: Chrome/Chromium use "Thin" as default font weight

 

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.

Title:
  Chrome/Chromium use "Thin" as default font weight

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). 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
