Re: Bug#500532: please improve english NEWS.Debian text
Here for d-l-e readers is the current NEWS.Debian text:
ttf-kochi (1.0.20030809-6) unstable; urgency=low
-------------------------------------------------------------------
| Please use ttf-sazanami-{mincho,gothic}, instead of ttf-kochi |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
kochi upstream development is discontinued and upstream suggest to use
"sazanami" font (ttf-sazanami-mincho/gothic), kochi based one. So we will
not fix some corrupted glyphes with kochi (those glyphes are fixed with
sazanami -U+2211, U+221F, U+222E, U+301D, U+301F, U+3231, U+3232, U+3239,
U+32A4, U+32A5, U+32A6, U+32A7, U+32A8, and U+33CD).
So Users, please use ttf-sazanami-mincho/gothic font, not ttf-kochi-*.

(Spelling: development, glyphs.)
I'd like to reduce the repetitions of "the $fontname fonts", maybe
like this:
Upstream development of the kochi fonts has been discontinued. The author
of these fonts suggests as a replacement the use of the kochi-based
"sazanami" fonts. These fix several glyphs which are corrupted in the
kochi fonts.
