Package: fonts-noto-unhinted Version: 20171026-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, I used the "Noto Sans Symbols" font last year (I think on Debian stretch, but I'm not sure) to generate png output using libmakick++. It worked fine for various arrow and mathematical symbols e.g.: the integral symbol: ∫ (U+222B INTEGRAL) rightwards double arrow: ⇒ (U+21D2 RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW) I wanted to make some changes, and noticed that I now get empty rectangles in my output, where I had symbols before. I tried using "gnome-thumbnail-font" and "font-manager" to search for these symbols, but was unable to find them. I looked through the archive of fonts-noto on snapshot.debian.org*. fonts-noto-unhinted_20161116-1_all.deb seems to contain all the symbols I was using in "NotoSansSymbols-Regular.ttf". The current symbols ttf (NotoSansSymbols-Regular & NotoSansSymbols2-Regular) don't seem to contain them. *http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20171029T215600Z/pool/main/f/fonts-noto/ I think this was broken by commit bc9353da6f625b7a47035de952c2e8fd9e3ae889 in https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts. I don't understand how google's noto-fonts is organized, but it seems that a number of useful symbols were dropped in this commit. These are my installed noto fonts: ii fonts-noto-hinted 20171026-2 all "No Tofu" font families with large Unicode coverage (hinted) ii fonts-noto-mono 20171026-2 all "No Tofu" monospaced font family with large Unicode coverage ii fonts-noto-unhinted 20171026-2 all "No Tofu" font families with large Unicode coverage (unhinted) Thanks, Ciarán -- Package-specific info: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-================================-=====================-=====================-====================================================================== ii fontconfig 2.12.6-0.1 amd64 generic font configuration library - support binaries ii libfreetype6:amd64 2.8.1-2 amd64 FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files ii libxft2:amd64 2.3.2-1+b2 amd64 FreeType-based font drawing library for X -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled -- no debconf information
