[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#1055506: fonts-noto-core: Please update the Noto Hebrew fonts

[Guy Rutenberg]

Package: fonts-noto-core
Version: 20201225-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Google Fonts has a newer versions of the Noto Hebrew font families. The new
version has to main advantages:
1. It includes latin glyphs as well, which makes the font usable in programs
which fail to handle missing glyps gracefully (for exampel Firefox would
replace the missing latin glyphs in Noto Sans Hebrew with a serif font).
2. It has a variable font variant.

Thanks,
Guy
