Heh, so this answers your question in the beginning "how to display CJK chars right in a Latin environment"? Answer: "they don't care" :)
Apart from kidding, IMO, we still need a fontconfig help no matter whether CJK fonts are split or not. The same problem still appears when you install both Chinese and Japanese fonts on a single system, for example.
Yes...we need to use that fontconfig configuration to prepend sans-serif, serif and monospace. I think your concern is that one installed: * noto-sans-cjkjp-* * noto-sans-cjksc-* on the same system. But that assumption isn't real actually...because: noto-sans-cjkjp-* actually covers all CJK chars...the only difference is the order of the glyphs, that is, Chinese displays Kanji in Chinese glyph... So far I didn't see concern like "I'm Chinese but I want to display Kanji in Japanese style." why would you want to install SC if you can display Simplified Chinese? Of course it may seem duplicate in size. But so far I didn't see any concern about this, that is: Why a Japanese wants all the Chinese chars bundled in a Japanese font. Maybe some years later a Korean will raise such questions...because their language contains much more difference than the one between JP and Chinese. Answers to all the questions: The only way to solve this, is to increase the source size. That is, use the four 115mb source, just to get monospace fonts. And use region specific font for JP, KR, SC and TC separately :-)
Well, but this will still introduce a regression when you upgrade a system containing the old google-noto-sans-cjk. Basically this meta package is only for the upgrade, thus we don't need to care much about the size reduction, i.e. we can take *all* relevant font subpackages.
Yes. I think we can think about it later, after we have a testing build :-) And I'm preparing that testing build. Marguerite -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+owner@opensuse.org
