Am 03. Dec, 2016 schwätzte Stephen Partington so: > Google fonts Domo arigato for fonts roboto. Never heard of them. Not a surprise that they exist as Google likes tech that gives people a common experience on the web and has lots of projects to make that happen. In my original post I pointed out that it's awesome that distributions support so many options. It's also awesome that some people take fonts seriously so the rest of us don't have to. A couple of times I've scratched the surface as to what it takes to make a font and was impressed by the work that goes into making functional fonts. There are also the great designers who put a lot of effort into choosing just the right font for something. I'm obviously not one of those :). Interesting, the Google fonts packages don't get along. ### The following packages have unmet dependencies: fonts-roboto-hinted : Conflicts: fonts-roboto-unhinted but 2:0~20160106-1 is to be installed fonts-roboto-unhinted : Conflicts: fonts-roboto-hinted but 2:0~20160106-1 is to be installed Conflicts: fonts-roboto-hinted:i386 ### Hinted it is. Wonder when they'll make a "I'm Feeling Lucky" font package that automagically determines which font is best. Hmm, bet that have that for android... :) ciao, der.hans > On Dec 3, 2016 10:13 AM, "der.hans" wrote: > >> moin moin, >> >> I'm at my once a decade point of caring about fonts. >> >> It's awesome that distributions support so many languages, but Urdu, >> Klingon and Thai having legible fonts are not going to help me read them. >> >> fonts-gfs-complutum - ancient Greek font revival from the University of >> Alcalá, Spain >> >> That's cool and useful for a friend, but it's been a while since I've >> spoken any Greek aside from Opa[0]. >> >> So, aside from grepping out 50 languages, how do I determine which debian >> packages I should install to get all the cool fonts that will enrich my >> digital culteral experience? >> >> I might be asking the same thing about CentOS and Fedora next week, so >> rpm-based answers also welcome. >> >> I am mostly concerned about xterm, konsole, GIMP and LibreOffice.
