Package: fonts-freefont-ttf
Version: 20120503-4
Severity: normal

Hi!
I'm afraid that the Braille range (U+2800..U+28FF) is useless.  At typical
font sizes you get nothing but greyish rectangles
(https://savannah.gnu.org/file/braille10.png?file_id=37026), barely
recognizable at size 16 (96 DPI, full sub-pixel AA), recognizable without
difficulty at 22+ish.

DejaVu does include good glyphs for this range, but for some reason not in
mono (despite these characters all having fixed width), which means it's
FreeMono that gets substituted.

Same for NotoSansSymbols-Regular (Recommended: by gimp, ghostscript,
cinnamon, task-chinese), as well as a bunch of other fonts that don't get
installed by default.


Some sample text for testing:

I've reported this upstream but as they hadn't a release in four years, 
let's exclude this range in our packages.
