Hi Jonas,
After looking the debian/control file of fonts-noto [1], I only was able
to find out that the "${fonts:scriptfonts}" variable was used in the
long description of the package to list how many scripts were supported
by the package.
I however failed to see how the full list of scripts was included in the
long description of the package — can you guide me to where this is
done, and how?
The current "supported languages" count (and other counts) are directly
extracted from upstream's website.
Best regards,
Romain.
