Package: debian-installer
Version: 20160630
Severity: important

Please use fonts-noto-hinted to display the Sinhala script

The LKLUG font is viewed as deprecated and we've been trying to
encourage other fonts that can succeed as the default Sinhala font on
GNU/Linux.

At this stage the Noto Sinhala range, in fonts-noto-hinted, is a more
appropriate default font than LKLUG.

See the discussion here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/sinhala/mailman/message/34481529/

$ apt-cache rdepends fonts-lklug-sinhala
fonts-lklug-sinhala
Reverse Depends:
  task-sinhala-desktop

$ dpkg -L fonts-noto-hinted | grep -i sinhala
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansSinhala-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansSinhala-Regular.ttf

Thanks,

I'd be happy to do this, however the fonts-noto-hinted-udeb package is
5 megabytes in size while the former fonts-lklug-sinhala-udeb package
is only 67kilobytes.

Size is somehow constrained in Debian Installer, so I'd prefer getting
more input and advice before replacing fonts-lklug-sinhala-udeb byt
fonts-notohinted-udeb in D-I

I'd be happy to improve the usefulnes of the Noto package(s), but will 
need more guidance.

I suspect easiest approach would be for debian-installer to use Noto 
generally - i.e. replace not only the font for Sinhala but (I guess) a 
larger range of region-specific fonts.

If debian-installer installs locale-specific fonts only when needed, or 
there are reasons to not shift generally to Noto, then indeed there is a 
benefit in creating udeb packages for smaller regions.

I can create a udeb specifically for Sinhala.  Or I can create a udeb 
for each single font part of the Noto deb.  What do the debian-installer 
team consider useful?

Perhaps the Noto maintainers might consider splitting Noto into script
based debs. IIRC, that's what was done in Fedora.

Chagning the D-I font to Noto for all languages hasn't been 
validated...and the current font is well tested and accepted.

So, as a consequence, I'd prefer a udeb that would be suited for Sinhala.

Makes sense.

udeb package fonts-noto-hinted-udeb now, since 20161116-1, contains only 
fonts relevant for debian-installer - i.e. for now only Sinhala fonts.

I now need to figure out where to make other changes.

One is in the installer build files (in the debian-installer package
itself) and is committed to git.

Another is in one of the D-I packages : changing the file that
mentions what fonts are used depending on the locale. This is not yet
committed as I now have to remember what package we're talking about..:-)

*that* I found. The place I'm looking for is a file that says "if
you're using a Sinhala locale, then load this font". From memory that
might be rootskel-gtk....

Ah, ok.

gtk-common, perhaps?

http://sources.debian.net/src/debian-installer/20161031/build/pkg-lists/gtk-common/?hl=22#L22

I found above at https://codesearch.debian.org/ with this expression:

  (?i:sinhal) package:debian-installer

(to cover upper/lower case, and both Sinhala and Sinhalese)

Indeed, this is in rootskel-gtk, in src/usr/bin/gtk-set-font. It
allows choosing the "main" font depending on the locale and even
picking a bigger size than the default.

....rootskel-gtk just uploaded.

If everything goes well, the next daily builds of D-I (netboot images)
should soon use the Noto fonts to display Sinhala.

Maybe you forgot to push that part? I've mentioned it earlier when I
noticed the rootskel-gtk upload (and only saw this thread afterwards):
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2016/11/msg00178.html

That was indeed rootskel-gtk's gtk-set-font as you found out; sorry for
being late to the party.

That's right. I forgot pushing the commit....which I found, today, was
done in an outdated copy of installer/ directory anyway (I keep my
copy of packages/ up-to-date, but not installer/)

I redid it cleanly today and just pushed.

Changes:
 debian-installer (20170112) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Cyril Brulebois ]
   * Bump Linux kernel version from 4.7.0-1 to 4.8.0-1.
   * Add “set -e;” before while loops in a few arm* config files
     to make sure errors are reported (Closes: #843916).
   * Revert the following workaround after changes in grub2 2.02~beta3:
     config/kfreebsd.cfg: Put xorriso's -J flag after “--” to work around
     grub-mkrescue's change in option handling (See: #741656).
   * Exclude libssl1.1-udeb as well for qnap, wget will likely depend on
     it later on.
   * Update translation-status for the release.
 .
   [ Adam Conrad ]
   * build/util/efi-image: Fix up FAT filesystem size calculation:
     - We appear to need 32k headroom, not 24k; this was masked
       by rounding errors and blind luck until grub grew 1.5kB.
     - Break out the magic headroom number into 32+31 to match
       the comment and make the arithmetic more obvious to read.
     - Round file sizes up, not down, so we don't break in future.
 .
   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Disable u-boot images for OpenRD because they've been removed
     (see #837629).
   * Exclude wpasupplicant-udeb on orion5x-qnap because it brings in
     libcrypto1.1-udeb.
 .
   [ Aurélien COUDERC ]
   * Update theme to Soft Waves by Juliette Belin.
 .
   [ Christian Perrier ]
   * Replace fonts-lklug-sinhala by fonts-noto-hinted-udeb for Sinhala.
     Closes: #837926
 .
   [ Cyril Brulebois ]
   * Bump Linux kernel version from 4.8.0-1 to 4.8.0-2.
 .
   [ Philipp Kern ]
   * Add https support to the installer. (Closes: #842040)
 .
   [ Philip Hands ]
   * pkg-lists/gtk-common: ttf-dejavu-udeb is now called fonts-dejavu-udeb
 .
   [ Samuel Thibault ]
   * Bump gnumach kernel version.
