[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#785454: update package description
Source: fonts-ipafont
Version: 00303-12
Severity: normal
For ordinary people, the differences between:
fonts-ipafont-mincho
fonts-ipaexfont-mincho
fonts-ipamj-mincho
are difficult to figure out from their package description since they
are not synchronized. I read the upstream web site and summarized them
in the consistent set of the description. I hope the differences are
clear from this updated package description.
I attach my patch against the jessie package.
(Excuse me, I also swapped order of Mincho and Gothic in debian/control to
make this consistent with upstream web site and all other part of
documentation.)
