Bug#1059329: cinnamon-desktop-environment: dependency on noto-font installs too many fonts, fontlist exploded.
Dear Fabio,
thanks for the quick reply. OK, so that is one issue less... then please
close this bug?
I also made a reply to the fonts-noto main package. Both the exploding
fontlist and difficult deinstallation are discussed there in threads:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=983291
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756456
Splitting out the Noto font in many language dependent files seems to be
not so handy somehow... Unicode was invented to circumvent that issue...
However, the noto-core package still has many fonts installed.
Best regards,
Tjeerd Pinkert

Hi, this was already reported by other people and fixed in 5.8.0 (that
is in unstable/testing) moving fonts-noto from deps to recommends.
I was thinking if it might be useful to further reduce the default
installation (with recommended) by replacing fonts-noto with
fonts-noto-core, but I don't know how much the fonts of the other
packages recommended by fonts-noto are used.
