FYI, upstream will switch to Noto for Plasma 5.5.
Can you explain why Oxygen has been require rather than recommend, or suggest who might know?
Because it's default font. We rather not want something like that be missing.
Who is we?
We the people.
Lots of people on this planet. :-p Which people are "we"?
KDE dev upstream dev people? KDE user people (by voting or polling)? SLE/openSUSE KDE packager people? Independent font expert people? SLE/openSUSE font expert people? People who prefer them in a direct side by side comparison of Oxygen with similar fonts? More than a pittance of people with poorer than average visual acuity? A11Y or U7Y people?
That's too much bikeshedding for my taste. A requires I would think is correct since you have to guarantee that *at least one* font for each family will be available. If other packages pull in other fonts, that's the accident. Which font set to require is probably debatable (and has actually been debated), but at least one has to be required or you can end up with a fontless installation if nothing else pulls any of the required fonts. What you should probably do is inspect which other font is replacing Oxygen when it's removed,and figure out which package is pulling in that font set, and then perhaps a decision can be made (maybe fix the requires to match so that only one font set is pulled in rather than a multitude). If you installed the other font set manually,you cannot remove the requires on Oxygen. That could cause breakage when people don't install alternative fonts manually like you did. I'm not sure why can't you just ignore Oxygen? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
