@zerng07: I think CJKUnifonts does want to follow Taiwan's standard (CNS11643), China's standard (GB18030), and other countries' standard also. However this project seema to stop the development since 2010 (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/CJKUnifonts/). CJKUnifonts is a truely open source project and it also has many bugs needed to fix. fonts-moe-standard and fonts-cns11643 are the fonts released by Taiwan government, and they are licensed by CC-BY-ND (Non-Free). The Debian package maintainers are both Taiwanese. I am the maintainer of fonts-cns11643. As you said some glyphs of AR PL UMing/UKai don't follow Taiwan standard. I agree with you. But I think they are bugs and we should help to fix them as a FLOSS member. I also agree that WenQuanYi Micro Hei looks better than AR PL UMing/UKai. But remember, WenQuanYi Micro Hei follows GB18030 and it is not compliant to CNS11643. I think we should use AR PL UMing/UKai as the default fonts for Taiwan users, and help the development of CJKUnifonts to follow Taiwan standard. Or we can help the development of WenQuanYi to include the support of CNS11643. However at this point I think AR PL UMing/UKai is better than WenQuanYi Micro Hei to follow Taiwan standard. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ttf-wqy-microhei in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173571 Title: please change wenquanyi micro hei back with 69-language-selector-zh- tw.conf Status in Ubuntu Seeds: In Progress Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ttf-wqy-microhei” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: In quantal and previous version of ubuntu, we use WenQuanYi Micro Hei as default Chinese (Traditional) fonts for Sans, Monospace.

[Documentation-packages] [Bug 958345] Re: ttf-indic-fonts packages is not updated for last 2 years
For Malayalam Lohit would be the bad choice because it is the least popular font for Malayalam among all other available fonts. It follows a reduced set orthography. Consistent glyphs with other Indic fonts is the main drawback of that font and its less popularity. All Indic scripts vary a lot and one design for all was not successful so far. If size is a concern, you may split the fonts-smc package to fonts-smc- meera etc as Fedora does(https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/smc- meera-fonts) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ttf-indic-fonts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958345 Title: ttf-indic-fonts packages is not updated for last 2 years Status in “ttf-indic-fonts” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The Debian fonts team recently restructured the indic fonts. ttf-indic-fonts changed to fonts-indic. This is meta package and all packages ttf-[language]-fonts renamed to fonts-[script/foundry]. In addition to this all fonts were updated to latest versions from upstreams.
