then this might be a problem of your specific login manager, which I think you forgot to mention. this bug report should be re-assigned to this specific package. > > >Please note that > >apt show fonts-noto > >Says that this package is "Optional" > yes, this is correct. since there are many ways to use Debian without fonts-noto (or even without a gui, let alone a desktop environment; think servers, containers, ...), it is indeed not a "required" package on the system level. the Debian way to handle this is through inter-package dependencies: if a specific package (eg a login manager) requires fonts-noto to work, then it should express this via a Depends relation. note that "apt show" won't reveal such a reverse dependency. mfh.her.fsr IOhannes
