Q: Why are there so many Noto packages?
|
|
A: Each Noto Font family is individually packaged to allow the user to pick and
|
|
choose which font(s) they need. If we instead shoved them all into a single
|
|
package, then we would get situations such as KDE Plasma pulling in many MBs
|
|
worth of font files as KDE Plasma uses Noto Sans as their default font.
|
|
|
|
Q: Why do the packages take up so much space?
|
|
A: We currently package the most space inefficient font format provided by
|
|
Google which are Hinted TTFs. We have tried switching to more space efficient
|
|
formats such as Unhinted OTFs, but that made the fonts ugly on low dpi
|
|
monitors. If you or someone you know can help with transitioning us to a more
|
|
space efficient format please let me know.
