well, high time for a version '1' upload then. :D
and late suggestion from the last discussions were:
* removal or demotion to Recommends of regular noto (reason: spams font
selection dialogs to the point of making them unusable)
Yes, please kill fonts-noto. Adding 150 individual entries to the font
selection dialog is not useful. We really cannot "recommend" this.
* addition of Comic Neue
This. And I think we also need one or two more "characteristic" fonts,
like e.g. a replacement for Impact - does anyone know one?
So... what fonts YOU would want added/removed?
I am using fonts-firacode for coding and fonts-hack for the terminal.
So, I'd suggest to add at least one of them, probably as a replacement
for fonts-noto-mono.

It's definitely useful (read: crucial) for viewing Postscript and PDF
documents, so please keep it.
