Package: fonts-noto-cjk
Version: 1:20240730+repack1-1
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? I installed Debian in Portuguese and later
in English. Both times, when I tried to read text in Korean, the characters
were not recognized by the system (displayed as boxes or garbled text). Then, I
tried to change the computer's language to Korean, but it was not available.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? I had to install the fonts-noto-cjk package for the
language to become available on the system.
* What was the outcome of this action? After installing the fonts-noto-cjk
package, Korean appears as an option in the system and the characters are
correctly recognized.
* What outcome did you expect instead? I expect the language to be available
and Korean characters to be recognized without having to install additional
packages.

Hi Camila,
Thanks for using Debian and for caring enough that you file bugreports.
That is appreciated.
I disagree, however, that this specifically is a bug.
If you want your system to support korean, then you will need to
install packages to fullfill that need.
Either, as you eventually ended up doing, install narrowly e.g.
fonts-noto-cjk for font coverage, or install appropriate
metapackages when available - e.g. task-korean-desktop. Installing the
metapackage pulls in not only fonts to cover glyphs for the locale but
also support for the language in some popular applications like
LibreOffice and Firefox. If you use LaTeX then you may want to
additionally install texlive-lang-korean, and similarly for other less
popular applications.
You may also want to enable locale support at the system level by
running sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales.
With this email I have closed this bugreport. Please note that this
does not mean that I have closed this conversation: If you disagree or
for other reason want to discuss further then please, you are still
welcome to post to this bugreport.
Kind regards,
- Jonas
