Our current noto package isn't any different than the ones offered on their website: It is versioned (probably from github or a news announcement= ), but the file is not really versioned, and our downloaded file into the store is not versioned aswell. Now we have two options: Switch to their github repositories for the downlo= ads, where they are versioned, or use all the individual files from the noto web= site: - https://www.google.com/get/noto/ Noto fonts except for CJK and emoji: https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fon= ts Noto CJK fonts: https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-cjk Noto Emoji fonts and the toolchain to generate Noto Emoji fonts: https://gi= thub.com/googlei18n/noto-emoji I'm in favor of just using the unversioned fonts from the google website because they are a) upstream b) bigger than github (I'm positive that they have their fallback options) and c) the files are reasonable grouped in archives. --=20 ng0 GnuPG: A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 GnuPG: https://n0is.noblogs.org/my-keys https://www.infotropique.org https://krosos.org --dnmdhuhfwy26c7q3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEqIyK3RKYKNfqwC5S4i+bv+40hYgFAlmJm9UACgkQ4i+bv+40 hYikIQ/+LAbnFHNOaZygh9alXs2/6Py2KL8uVgiiAOZNkcA9hchsoBwPQ6SFyU9y UvGTWq1Gpu9cPu3Y2KnhY36mn8fL24oJuLgGE2PFodyw0BV6BjtnfCkDea+q8qCV UKYxc/AIgywHgZllJVC00keYAXxNUKIKRIaU7cG/LDpaNB2atTO54S65KULTvsHb aInNVTEHe8g0aM32A3o3tIBoRHGRDjofuia7OEjZKeg/bXfMg4eBOqmsoe+nqz5p S0uxlzUHrEaNapKtfCAnPmeeA1J37MybuM7WMONU0+jICsVhkO1xCIS6ijY9x2rN WaO8ze2O2w6zetvSNX0vhpKKm1zSR9Oiqr7kSqNO7sGEV9GSsb1gDn+SkzDup0FZ JqoPUI4LCIVLG1YbMgFF2PHASoH3RFFDkEQCr0amOx6aI4x/dh0z/lF4tHHP2f+h AnUX59LaeYTK3hfhwD5voRCO4CDngzoNzT+41vK/qLII5sZxt3WzrxfY94jeRt8A 4s4k27YPqIfQiK57nfoT3TJHLBRB2lyLbUbNgXmNDMrWPbC7DrwtkFRSNeGYqAC9 TD5nNJZiy6/UrCEaC9gRCs3qBT1i2Lg7Vk5wIkNJSzZHSps0pvbca6w1TtQjPHlu NvFNQHDVF8KEd0DDOovK+230WBpLhlba57GnfabtJ00Ss7xe6yQ= =cV1r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --dnmdhuhfwy26c7q3--
