Hi Sebastiaan,

I've just added fonts team to the Cc. Since I'm not very experienced in
this matter some one from team can provide some suggestion.

Bug#804683: josm: Please switch to fonts-noto from fonts-droid

[Vasudev Kamath]

Package: josm
Severity: normal
User: pkg-fonts-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: droid-migration

Dear Maintainer,

Since Android upstream stopped shipping Droid fonts and its been
declared that Noto fonts will be superseding the Droid¹² we in
"Debian Fonts Task Force" team decided to drop fonts-droid package.

One of your package josm either
Depends/Recommends/Suggests/Build-Depends on fonts-droid. I kindly
request you to do the switch to fonts-noto instead.

If you are using Fallback variants of Droid fonts, I would like note
that these fonts will still be shipped as part of new
fonts-droid-fallback package.
