IIRC, that's what was done in Fedora.
I'd be happy to improve the usefulnes of the Noto package(s), but will need more guidance. I suspect easiest approach would be for debian-installer to use Noto generally - i.e. replace not only the font for Sinhala but (I guess) a larger range of region-specific fonts. If debian-installer installs locale-specific fonts only when needed, or there are reasons to not shift generally to Noto, then indeed there is a benefit in creating udeb packages for smaller regions. I can create a udeb specifically for Sinhala. Or I can create a udeb for each single font part of the Noto deb. What do the debian-installer team consider useful? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
