It seems to me that the way this is generally handled in Debian is (f), which is to have the fonts-noto source package compress and ship the woff2 fonts. In some cases they use a separate package called -web or something similar. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-dejavu https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-atkinson-hyperlegible https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-tlwg In other cases, they ship the woff2 fonts in a binary package that includes other font formats. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-materialdesignicons-webfont Is this something you would consider as the maintainer of the fonts-noto package? -- Soren Stoutner [email protected]
