When text is rendered by a computer, sometimes characters are displayed as
"tofu". They are little boxes to indicate your device doesn't have a font to
display the text.
Google has been developing a font family called Noto, which aims to support all
languages with a harmonious look and feel. Noto is Google's answer to tofu. The
name noto is to convey the idea that Google's goal is to see no more "tofu".
Noto has multiple styles and weights, and is freely available to all. The
comprehensive set of fonts and tools used in our development is available in our
GitHub repositories.
x11-fonts/noto is a meta port which includes:
- x11-fonts/noto-basic: basic fonts set
- x11-fonts/noto-emoji: emoji fonts set
- x11-fonts/noto-extra: extra fonts set
- x11-fonts/noto-kr: Traditional Chinese Hong Kong fonts set
- x11-fonts/noto-jp: Japanese fonts set
- x11-fonts/noto-kr: Korean fonts set
- x11-fonts/noto-sc: Simplified Chinese fonts set
- x11-fonts/noto-tc: Traditional Chinese fonts set
===> The following configuration options are available for noto-2.0:
BASIC=on: Install basic fonts set
EMOJI=on: Install emoji fonts set
EXTRA=on: Install extra fonts set
HK=on: Install Traditional Chinese Hong Kong fonts set
JP=on: Install Japanese fonts set
KR=on: Install Korean fonts set
SC=on: Install Simplified Chinese fonts set
TC=on: Install Traditional Chinese fonts set
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
x11-fonts/noto*: Restructure and update
Split x11-fonts/noto-basic into separate ports so they can be updated
separately. Keep noto-basic as a metaport but replace dependencies on
it with dependencies on individual fonts as needed.
Adjust x11-fonts/noto-extra to resolve conflicts for now. Individual
fonts can be split from this port later.
Let x11-fonts/noto-emoji install the monochrome Noto Emoji font and
create a new port x11-fonts/noto-color-emoji for Noto Color Emoji.
Add the new ports to x11-fonts/noto metaport and make Noto Sans and
Noto Serif non-optional because script-specific fonts depend on them.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Make fonts repecting XDG
Xorg is now looking in ${LOCALBASE}/share/fonts by default
Xorg now accepts symlinks in etc/X11/fontpath.d (as decribed in Xserver(1))
Large cleanup on lots of font ports
All fonts are now properly dynamically generating fonts.dir and fonts.scale
instead of sometime overwriting existing ones)
All fonts are generating fontconfig's cache
Improve consistency in fonts ports
