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.
