Bug#755383: ITP: fonts-adobe-sourcehansans-twhk -- “Source Han Sans TWHK” A sans-serif Pan-CJK font family (TWHK subset) that is offered in seven weights

They are not likely to be updated separately. I was just wondering if it’s too big for a single font package to exceed 100M. If that’s not a problem, one package would be great.

Description : “Source Han Sans TWHK” A sans-serif Pan-CJK font family

(TWHK subset) that is offered in seven weights

Source Han Sans is a sans serif Pan-CJK font family that is offered in seven

weights—ExtraLight, Light, Normal, Regular, Medium, Bold, and Heavy—and in

several OpenType/CFF-based deployment configurations to accommodate various

system requirements or limitations. As the name suggests, Pan-CJK fonts are

intended to support the characters necessary to render or display text in

Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Does it make sense to use separate source packages for each of the

languages covered by Source Han? Are they likely to be updated

separately?

Ben.
