It turned out that Fedora and openSUSE # tumbleweed have started deploying variable-font [3] format of "Noto CJK" # fonts [4, 5]. For PDF, a LaTeX package named xeCJK is used for CJK # (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) pages. xeCJK requires XeLaTeX/XeTeX, which # does not (and likely never will) understand variable fonts for historical # reasons. # # The build error happens even when both of variable- and non-variable-format # fonts are found on the build system. To make matters worse, Fedora enlists # variable "Noto CJK" fonts in the requirements of langpacks-ja, -ko, -zh_CN, # -zh_TW, etc. Hence developers who have interest in CJK pages are more # likely to encounter the build errors. # # This script is invoked from the error path of "make pdfdocs" and emits # suggestions if variable-font files of "Noto CJK" fonts are in the list of # fonts accessible from XeTeX. # # References: # [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/r/8734tqsrt7.fsf@meer.lwn.net/ # [2]: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1708585803.600323099@f111.i.mail.ru/ # [3]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_font # [4]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Noto_CJK_Variable_Fonts # [5]: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1157217 # #=========================================================================== # Workarounds for building translations.pdf #=========================================================================== # # * Denylist "variable font" Noto CJK fonts. # - Create $HOME/deny-vf/fontconfig/fonts.conf from template below, with # tweaks if necessary.
