** Description changed: [Impact] Chromium and Google Chrome use "Thin" as the default Noto Sans CJK font weight, which makes some Chinese and Japanese web pages difficult to read, and thus gives a bad user experience. The fonts-noto-cjk version in the PPA https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/fonts-noto-cjk installs 7 weight specific font files instead of a single "super" file. This works around the Chromium/Chrome issue. + + Note: It has already been fixed in Debian (version 1:1.004+repack2-1), + so as regards yakkety I suppose that syncing instead of uploading from + the PPA is a good idea. [Test Case] To reproduce the bug: * Install Chromium or Google Chrome. * Go to <http://www.gamer.com.tw> and notice the very thin characters. * Install fonts-noto-cjk from the PPA and notice the difference. [Regression Potential] This is about another font packaging form, without any change in glyph coverage, so the the regression risk should be low. [Original description] The package seems to only "thin" variant of the font, which makes it very unreadable in applications such as Chrome (when it has to fall back on Chinese fonts on a mostly-English page). I had to remove the package and then manually download the font from Google website and install it to make the regular weight available Release: 16.04 LTS Package Version: 1.004+repack1-1 Expected: All weights of the noto cjk font to be installed Happened: Only the "thin" weight of the font seems to be installed
