The wide range of combinations this enables turns the whole thing into a mess that currently noone seems to understand. The two threads I have posted above try to shed some light into the situation, though.

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.

From the discussion in the upstream JOSM issue [0] it's become clear that the Noto font is not sharp as the Droid font it's meant to replace. In response to this concern raised by the JOSM developers I created an issue in the upstream noto-fonts issue tracker [1] in which I asked if it's possible to improve the sharpness at small font sizes. Do you have any suggestions how to improve the Noto font to be as sharp as the Droid font at small font sizes, before I raise the issue on the freetype-devel list as suggested in the noto-fonts issue?

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. ¹ https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/555 ² http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fonts-devel/attachments/20151031/011f4334/attachment.mht Best Regards, ___ Pkg-grass-devel mailing list Pkg-grass-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-grass-devel
