Just going through tidying up some old bugs -- looks like this was fixed
up in Debian and the changes are in Ubuntu (in noble, the fonts of kodi-
data are all in recommends). I'll set Xenial to won't fix since it's out
of support, and the devel component to fix released as that appears to
be the case.

** Changed in: kodi (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: Triaged => Won't Fix

** Changed in: kodi (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

Title:
  Change font dependency to recommends

Status in kodi package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in kodi source package in Xenial:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In kodi-data is a hard dependency for fonts-noto-mono and for fonts-
  noto-hinted. Please, change both fromo Depends to Recommends.

  Changing this allow for deinstallation of these two font packages,
  without breaking package dependencies in case these fonts are provided
  in another way via TeX Live installation. This mainly concerns Ubuntu
  users that use Tex Live, which are a lot, especially since Tex Live
  packages are still not up to date in Debian and Ubuntu.

  Changing to Recommends allow users to solve font conflicts (in this
  case the availability of the same font twice) easily and this change
  in dependency has been done for several other packages for this reason
  in the last few years.
