Bug#837926: debian-installer: please use fonts-noto-hinted to display the Sinhala script
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20160630
Severity: important
Please use fonts-noto-hinted to display the Sinhala script
The LKLUG font is viewed as deprecated and we've been trying to
encourage other fonts that can succeed as the default Sinhala font on
GNU/Linux.
At this stage the Noto Sinhala range, in fonts-noto-hinted, is a more
appropriate default font than LKLUG.
See the discussion here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/sinhala/mailman/message/34481529/
$ apt-cache rdepends fonts-lklug-sinhala
fonts-lklug-sinhala
Reverse Depends:
task-sinhala-desktop
$ dpkg -L fonts-noto-hinted | grep -i sinhala
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansSinhala-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansSinhala-Regular.ttf
Thanks,
