Turns out fonts-noto already ship a udeb with fonts not currently used in debian-installer. I now updated and tightened the package: Please use officially released fonts-noto-unhinted-udeb 20181130-1 available (soon if not already when you read this) in unstable. @Holger: Can you provide screenshots not only with Noto Sans Gujarathi but also Noto Sans Gujarathi UI and Noto Serif Gujarathi? Then we can have Kartik and/or other native Gujarathi readers judge which is more suitable (and if any are similar/better than older font use). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
