Description of problem: The Chinese government have made it a requirement that OS vendors support GB 18030-2022. To my understanding this means that the preloaded OS needs to have a font that supports this spec and if we don't have that we won't be able to ship the Fedora OS in China. I believe Fedora has the google-noto-cjk-fonts package and it looks like they are working on having compliance for this specification (based on https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk/issues/252) The font is not part of the default install so I wanted to open the conversation as to whether it can be included in the default workstation include please. If there is another font that is compliant available that I've missed let me know - this isn't a world I know well (despite, bizarrely, the very first job I ever had was making it so vector fonts could be rasterised for display :)) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: N/A 1. 2. 3. Actual results: no compliant Chinese font available Expected results:Compliant Chinese font available Additional info:Let me know if there is anything we can help with directly here. Our team in China can help :)
My immediate comment is just that we do install Google Noto CJK fonts by default, but those fonts are not (cannot be) officially certified for GB18030 afaik.
Thanks Jens - I thought they weren't in by default as I had to do a dnf install on my machine to get them. I'll check on a fresh install as this one has been upgraded from older versions. On the official certification - I thought the 252 issue meant they were working on making them compliant. Once that is completed do you know if the updated version will cover us - I was assuming it would :) I can go and do more digging if needed. Mark
(In reply to Mark Pearson from comment #2) > I thought the 252 issue meant they were working on making them compliant. Yes, that is a good find.
