2019-06-28 00:47:30 Gunnar Hjalmarsson description This ships the latest Noto CJK fonts to the users in good time before the 19.10 release, and will help with the progress of the meta bug #1828884 which is about desired changes due to the new Japanese era Reiwa. Verson 2.001 includes glyphs for Reiwa. Since Debian hasn't packaged this yet, we have created a modified .orig.tar.xz file where 7 .ttc files (plus NEWS and HISTORY) differs from version 1:20181130+repack1-1~exp1, i.e. the latest Debian upload. There is no other Ubuntu/Debian delta, so as soon as Debian has catched up, it will be fine to start syncing again. [Impact] Due to Japan's new era, a Unicode character has been introduced which represents the era name (Reiwa) as one single character. The version of fonts-noto-cjk in the stable releases does not support the new character, which is what motivates a backport of the eoan fonts-noto-cjk version. The proposed SRU is in line with the meta bug #1828884. This means an upgrade of Noto Sans CJK from version 1.004 to 2.001, and it will bring a few other changes in the bargain. Most notably a new set of Hong Kong fonts has been added to the previous ones (simplified and traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). Attached to this bug report please see the file noto-sans-cjk-news.txt with upstream's detailing of the changes. [Test Case] Install from {bionic,cosmic,disco}-proposed: - fonts-noto-cjk - fonts-noto-cjk-extra - language-selector-common - language-selector-gnome 1. The Reiwa glyph -------------------------- Visit http://people.ubuntu.com/~gunnarhj/square-era-name-reiwa.html and find that a proper Japanese character, and not a tofu, is shown. 2. Presence and configuration of HK fonts ----------------------------------------- (This also bears on the language-selector changes.) * Install the Hong Kong locale: sudo locale-gen zh_HK.UTF-8 * Run this command: LC_CTYPE=zh_HK.UTF-8 fc-match and find that it returns: NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK HK" "Regular" 3. General use -------------- Browse some web sites with Chinese, Japanese or Korean contents and confirm that the upgrade does not cause any font rendering issues. [Regression Potential] This somewhat aggressive SRU proposal is based on trust in Google and Adobe as solid upstream providers of these fonts. Version 2.000 (which includes most of the changes) was released in November 2018, while version 2.001 (with the Reiwa glyph) was released in April 2019. Serious problems should have been known by now. The upstream bug tracker gives no cause for concern: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-cjk/issues It may be worth mentioning that the fonts are provided as OTC files, and we don't compile those files ourselves. Hence just patching the new glyph would not be a practicable option. It would be easy to reverse this upgrade, if regressions would be reported. Basically we are talking about 7 files on the file system.
