5 Noto Serif CJK
It'll be easy and don't need that detailed split because it's not an UI font....it'll be just named:
google-noto-serif-cjk{sc|tc|ja|kr}-fonts which contains all seven weights.
Of course, font configurations are still needed for Japanese because the Demi-light issue.
I find these proposals are sensible and feasible. As long as the upgrades would work smoothly (and I guess so), I'm for this movement.
Honestly, I'm not, for the reasons stated above. I'm sorry to be a bit harsh.
Just a single point here to avoid the misunderstanding: we're discussing the splitting here not only per language but also per weight. The latter split will give a lot more reduction.
Are there numbers for that ?
AFAIK, there are 7 weights (thin, light, demi-light, regular, medium, bold, black). Also, I forgot to mention about the split of mono and standard variants, too. Another two counts up. Fortunately still less than boxing weight classes.
For normal usages like web browsing, we mostly need a single weight (or maybe another one for bold) while the current font contains all multiple weights. We can split them to each package and install only the essential ones as default. The *-cjk-* meta package also points only to these essential weights.
I'm wondering (coming from Latin world) : is italic used at all on CJK fonts, or only "regular" and "bold" ?
No, usually no italic for CJK. There can be, but mostly optional. Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+owner@opensuse.org
