  Description     : Monospace font from Google developed for Android

 This is a fixed width font developed for Android which should work well for
 modern smart phones. It also works well for desktop PCs.
 .
 It replaces the prior fonts Noto and Droid for Google use.

 See the Wikipedia page for background information.

This package was developed as a replacement for the noto font family and while
it's a matter of taste I like it better and expect that many others will too.

We have 5 packages for roboto proportional fonts so it makes sense to have the
mono one as well.

I will maintain it on my own.  I don't expect that there will be a new
upstream release any time soon and if it happens I don't expect a security
problem or other issue that requires a fast response.  This package should
just work in the same way for decades.
