The size can be reduce if we use region specific fonts and not all regions are installed. For example: * NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc 18 M * NotoSansJP-Regular.otf 4.3 M * NotoSansKR-Regular.otf 4.4 M * NotoSansSC-Regular.otf 8 M * NotoSansTC-Regular.otf 5.4M If all regions are installed, the file size is actually larger than single font. I am not sure installing multi-regions font is a common case or not. As for sperate package by font style as suggested in #823374, I think we can consider to do it because the package size is doubled due to Noto Serif CJK, and people might not need every style in most of the use cases. -- ChangZhuo Chen (陳昌倬) czchen@{czchen,debian}.org http://czchen.info/ Key fingerprint = BA04 346D C2E1 FE63 C790 8793 CC65 B0CD EC27 5D5B
