The change in language-selector, which stops pulling fonts-unfonts-core,
reached the archive as language-selector-common 0.184 as late as
2017-11-21. So probably the ISO you tested with carried language-
selector-common 0.183, and this will change in a day or two in the daily
ISOs.

Yes, and they are included. Takao and Nanum were not explicitly
mentioned in their seed branches, which is the reason why I didn't
create Xubuntu and MATE tasks above.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1581160] Re: Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

@Seong-ho Cho: I fear that we haven't been clear enough about the
meaning of "default".

The default font packages for Korean are those packages which are
installed automatically when you

1. install Ubuntu and select Korean as the language, or

2. install the Korean language afterwards from Settings.

The goal is to provide a good font, decently configured, so an
unexperienced user shouldn't need to bother about it. Up to 17.10 those
packages have been:

fonts-nanum
fonts-nanum-coding
fonts-unfonts-core

In 18.04 they will (probably) be replaced by:

fonts-noto-cjk
fonts-noto-cjk-extra

Please note that there is no plan to delete Korean font packages from
the Ubuntu archive. In 18.04 power users will have the option to
manually install one or more of the previous default font packages and
change the configuration to their liking.

Hopefully that explanation addresses your concerns.

There is no such dependency AFAICT.

$ apt-rdepends ibus-hangul | grep nanum

Possibly you mean that fonts-nanum gets installed when you install
Korean language support. It won't be in 18.04.

[Seong-ho Cho]

Deleting old fonts is not good for many person, it will deprive many
person’s chance of font selection. many person’s preference should be
kept within the distribution, otherwise ubuntu will lose many users.

Font can be handeled as many software, but it is not a program. it’s a
tool to express users’ characteristic and their taste, and a very
valuable asset of each users, even if there is so much few users.

changwoo said that, this discussion is just for changing from Nanum to
Noto sans as a default font. This is really important thing should not
forget. there should not be any matter related on font deletion. Linux
is not Windows and/or Mac OS which does not have any freedom to change
something as many users want.

@Gunnar 
Actually, Removing of those fonts (nanum, unfonts) are my first to do list 
after installation of Ubuntu (apt purge fonts-nanum* fonts-unfonts*) in 
terminal.
As such, I agree with deletion of those fonts.

And, One more thing we should not miss is ibus-hangul.
When installing ibus-hangul its package contains fonts-nanum automatically.
If someone install ibus-hangul manually fonts-nanum would be installed during 
installation of ibus-hangul automatically.
It should be checked as well with this issue, I think.

I agree with Jung-Kyu Park. I'd suggest that you file a separate bug
against the fcitx package to start with.

Thanks for letting us know, and yes, of course it's possible to keep
testing. Actually there is no real deadline for this. Whenever an issue
is reported, we'll fix it if possible.

At this time it seems to me as if we'll likely complete the switch to
Noto as default fonts for Japanese and Korean in 18.04, so I will soon
propose the related changes to the seed branches.

However, I have one question as regards the Korean fonts: Up to Ubuntu
17.10, besides fonts-nanum and fonts-nanum-coding, also the fonts-
unfonts-core package has been installed by default for Korean users.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/all/fonts-unfonts-core/filelist

If we switch to Noto, is it motivated to keep installing fonts-unfonts-
core by default?

@leejh76 , Hi Jong Hoon, It doesn't seem to quite related to this font issue.
It seems a bug of input methods, I think , It would be better for you file a 
bug to Libreoffice team, or those input methods developers.

@gunnarhj 
It works well for me in Ubuntu 17.10 under VB on macOS, If I can have a chance

I would test more of it in Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04 (if it is possible)
Thank you.

Finally the upload made it to bionic. I ask both Korean and Japanese
users to test this and report feedback ASAP. Please see comment #28
about how to test.

Changing the status of the language-selector task to "In Progress",
since it's not unlikely that further changes are needed.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1581160] Re: Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Let's get started with this.

I have uploaded some language-selector changes to bionic. They include:

* The Japanese config file proposed by Mitsuya Shibata in comment #11.

* Adding of Korean entries to
  /etc/fonts/conf.avail/64-language-selector-prefer.conf

To make it easier to test on Ubuntu 17.10, I also uploaded the new
language-selector version to the artful pocket of this PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/noto-test

However, Launchpad seems to be unusually busy for some reason, so it
will probably take several hours for both uploads before they are
available...

Later on, if we decide to switch to Noto, changes need to be done to
several seed branches, so the installer does not install Takao/Nanum
fonts. At this time, to test the changes, you need to remove Takao/Nanum
packages manually:

sudo apt purge fonts-takao-*

sudo apt purge fonts-nanum*

Also, the fonts-noto-cjk package, which is installed by default for all
users, only includes the font weights "Regular" and "Bold". To get
access to the other weights, you need to do:

sudo apt install fonts-noto-cjk-extra

I ask our Japanese and Korean users to please test this and provide
feedback.

[Changwoo Ryu]

Correction: that oss-desktop-korean mail [1] is not only intended for
Debian, though I created that group and also I am a Debian developer.
(Actually Debian doesn't have distribution-wide custom font config.) I
already filed the change request to the upstream (fontconfig) [2].

I prefer Noto Sans CJK. As I described in the mail, Noto Sans CJK has
many advantages over Nanum fonts. On the other hand, Nanum fonts has
many flaws but it is unmaintained in upstream and its OFL license makes
the flaws to difficult to fix.

Please remember that the discussion is about providing reasonable
*default* font to Korean users, not about Nanum font deletion or about
using a font you don't like.

[Youngbin Han]

Hello, Gunnar and Everyone.
First, Thanks Gunnar for informing our Korea Community about this issue.

If we can have enough test and feedback,
And if we also have an option to rollback to old Nanum fonts when we face with 
unresolvable issue,
I agree with changing default font for Korean from Nanum fonts to Noto fonts.

Maybe, What we need is just extensive and intensive test with substantial 
feedback.
Just like Keechang Kim from the mailing list said.

Thanks for further input.

Then it looks like we are agreed to change to Noto for both Japanese and
Korean in the development version of Ubuntu 18.04. I'll wait a day or
two, and if nobody has strong objections, I'll make some changes.

Then, indeed, I'm going to ask for testing and feedback, so we can deal
with possible issues.

Finally, if we - contrary to expectation - would encounter issues which
we can't resolve, we always have the option to reverse to the old fonts
before the 18.04 release.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1581160] Re: Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

[Seong-ho Cho]

Yes, I have seen that mail 1 hour ago, and I think that issue is occurred by 
improper hinting, sub-pixel order and DPI.
my browser(Epiphany 3.24.4 and Chromium 63.0.3230.0, which is compiled into my 
system, and I have all custom fontconfig value to see text clearly) has no 
problem which said by Kim, but as you mentioned Kim's message came from the 
mailing list, there are possibility to bring bad experience to many person if 
wrong values exist. many users do not know where they can see font setting 
value, and they do not want to know how to set and to pay attention for gaining 
more clear text.

so I agree your opinion that, we, korean users need to participate
testing and evaluating environment, based on Noto-sans-applied ubuntu
distribution for better readability experience. and then later, I
believe that we can get shiny and clear text by your own valuable work.
I recommend you Gunnar, to 'strongly request' to many Korean users, to
test new-comer feature(Noto-sans-as-a-default) which could be shipped on
the next LTS version.

Hmm.. We are still in the beginning of the 18.04 development cycle. One
way to deal with it might be to do it now, then test, fix and evaluate
during a few months, and reverse back to Nanum before the release of
18.04 if we'd fail to make Noto fonts look good for Korean.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1581160] Re: Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

[Seong-ho Cho]

we should know that Noto sans is not small font set, complete Noto sans
CJK font set almost takes up to 400MiB(7 to 8 times bigger than other
fonts), but as Jang said, Noto sans has many advantage, it gives us
chance to select one of many more thickness, size, style and so on
without seeing a bad hinting, and hesitating to select another font to
see another language’s character. so Noto sans can remove any trivial
issue that we don’t have to pay attention. and as we know, hard disk
capacity is grown too much in these days, so size of font set does not
matter to use our machine with ubuntu and Noto sans :P

of course, again, i meant that, i agree to change to noto sans as a
default one, and we would better to give chance to say another opinion
to another and many more person. :) so i said that we need more time to
discuss about this issue. if many person says “hey! i’m also agree!” for
this and there is no cool alternative way or thing to display linguistic
characters, it’s ok. go ahead for the Korean.

and Thank you Jang for giving valuable opinion!

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1581160] Re: Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

[Taehee Jang]

First and foremost, I would like to support this suggestion. Thanks to Chinese 
Team to consider a universal font of CJK.
This is because we had some troubles to deal with each fonts' problems in the 
past since we cannot know properties of each countries' fonts. 
Hence, as we adopt the Noto Sans font, we have chances to commit issues fast 
and efficient in the future.

  Furthermore, Noto Sans can save disk spaces and using a universal font might 
help to other open source projects when comprising fonts.
In other projects, such as OpenStack, they select fonts and group packages 
again to export numorous documents.
If we combine CJK fonts to one font, they don't need to collect each countries' 
fonts and save more capcities than each fonts allocated in the disk.
For example, I has been participated PDF export project in OpenStack. One of my 
problem is what should I select fonts of each countries. 
Thus, I think Noto Sans will help us to choose fonts more simple not only 
Ubuntu, but also other great projects.

  Lastly, I asked another user who knows this issue well.
I sent this link to a influential contributor, Jung-Kyu 
Park(https://launchpad.net/~bagjunggyu), who has contributed Ubuntu Korea 
Community and Elementary OS in Asian fonts, Input applications, and User 
Interface for several years. I heard Gunnar Hjalmarsson also knows him.
According to his iMessage, he also agreed that although there might exist 
license issues and other issues, Noto Sans font should be chosen as a default 
font in CJK.
Therefore, I think other Ubuntu end-users in Korea will also agree this issue.

  I hope three leaders of each counties will make a good decision for
us.

-Ubuntu Korea Community Adviser(and former leader)-

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your comment, Seong-ho Cho.

Default fonts for CJK languages is handled independently in Ubuntu, and
there is no requirement to follow Debian in this respect, even if Debian
provides the fonts packages. So if you need more time to discuss this in
the Korean community, then let's not change the Korean font at this
time.

See also this email thread:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ko/2017-October/001203.html

I'm going to proceed with changing the Japanese fonts only.

[Seong-ho Cho]

umm ... yes, This is one of Korean user, and my opinion is, we need more
time to discuss about this issue, and, we would better to think this
issue as language specific, separately, solution of this issue should
not be handled together with problem on Chinese and Japanese. China,
Japan and Korea shares unicode area for the CJK ideographic character,
but this is little bit one part of their own character code set. so I
think that many Chinese users and Japanese users also agree on this my
opinion. They have 'needs' for their own.

we, Korean users want to change to another font face from Nanum font,
this font is being on almost 6 to 7 years, but we did not found that
what font face looks more elegant and clear than Noto sans. some of
person is not satisfied to Noto sans' shape, but, we do not have idea
for any alternative one to change.

You can refer this discussion(in Korean), which says that, we already
selected Noto sans as a default font on the Debian distribution. we
tried to find another one, but we did not. therefore, It's OK to change
to Noto sans as "default Korean font", If you just want to follow Debian
distribution's policy.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1581160] Re: Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

[Yuan Chao]

Hinting options are rather font dependent. The old free fonts for CJK
usually do not have proper hinting embedded so certain specific tweaks
(ex. auto hint) are needed to avoid faint strokes. The draw backs are
the spaces between strokes may be significantly changed for small size
glyphs. It would not be a good idea to just apply the old settings to
Noto fonts I think. To me unless something is really broken due to this,
it's better leave as it is.

Yeah.. I have no idea why those changes were not upstreamed. The
explanation might well be that nobody bothered to do it.

Anyway, Noto Sans has been the default for Chinese since Xenial, so
until somebody says otherwise, I'm going to assume that the Chinese
users are happy without similar hinting configuration.

See you later on this matter.

Sorry, I don't know.

Anyway, fonts-ipafont/fonts-ipaexfont/fonts-vlgothic has a similar
patches as "ubuntu specific patch", i.e. original debian packages don't
have its patches.

If smaller font has no problem on debian, this problem cause other
config on ubuntu system...

You pointed it out clearly!

Previous takao font has following configuration.




TakaoGothic


18


hintnone


 false




I add above fontconfig settings for Noto (Sans|Seirf|Mono) CJK JP. 
It works very well in my environment.

Can you please show the output of:

to check if you possibly have some other font installed with ability to
render Japanese characters.

Maybe there is a need for a configuration file similar to the
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-zh-*.conf files. I thought
there wasn't...

For example "全", its spaces between vertical bars should be same. But

Hi Mitsuya,

My turn to apologize for late reply. :)

I think we'd better wait with this till the beginning of the 18.04
cycle, so we have time for testing and possible modifications.

In the meantime, and if you like, you could help to test a possible
solution right now. My belief is that the only thing needed is to remove
the fonts-takao-* packages without any need for specific Japanese
configuration.

So what I ask you to do is running these commands on a 17.10 machine:

sudo apt purge fonts-takao-*
sudo apt install fonts-noto-cjk-extra

Title:
  Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.04 Noto Sans CJK is the default font for rendering
  Chinese. After having struggled with a few issues, I believe that we
  finally achieved the desired improvement of the rendering experience.

  So now I ask: Is there an interest from Japanese and Korean users to
  consider a switch to Noto Sans? (The fonts are already installed for
  all users on Ubuntu 16.04.)

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1581160] Re: Switch to Noto Sans as default font for Japanese and/or Korean?

[Mitsuya Shibata]

Hi Gunnar and all,

Finally, NotoSerif fonts are included at 1.004+repack3-1 and synced to
artful at Jun.

https://packages.qa.debian.org/f/fonts-noto-cjk/news/20170404T034919Z.html
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-noto-cjk/1:1.004+repack3-1

I (as a Japanese LoCo team member) think that the concerns has been solved 
about Japanese default transition.
It is time to switch Japanese default fonts from Takao to Noto.

# And sorry for my very late late late reply

Thanks,

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Please take a look at the very old bug
, which I fear is just as valid
today. Suppose the problem would go away by switching to Noto Sans for
Japanese.
