- Noto Sans CJK 1.001 Release Notes
- =================================
- With this release there have been a number of bug fixes and some
- reorganization of the packages. The package reorganization carries with it
- a small name change that affects the name of the file, menu name, and the
- internal PostScript name of the original OTF format font. This is a one
- time name change only and names will be stable going forward.
- Bug Fixes
- ---------
- There have been a number of fixes but the two most obvious ones are the fix
- in the alignment of the traditional Chinese punctuation and adjustment of
- the designs used for traditional Chinese to align better for usage in Hong
- Kong.

- Package Reorganization
- ----------------------
- With this release there was an expansion in the number of file formats and
- combinations in which the fonts are being made available.
- There are now four major groups of font files by package in this release.
- These are:
- * Super OpenType Collection (Super OTC)
- - This is a new format this release that bundles all 7 weights for all 4
- languages into one large font resource. It is smaller overall than
- the combination of the 28 fonts that would be used otherwise because
- of resource sharing and it is much easier to install.
- * OpenType Collection (OTC)
- - Each OTC fully supports each of the four languages. There are 7 of these
- with one for each weight.
- * Language Specific OTF
- - Each font file supports each of the four languages by using the OpenType
- ‘locl’ feature. However, by default, when the ‘locl’ feature is not
- used, each font file supports a specific language. That means that
- there are 28 font files - 4 languages x 7 weights.
- - This format of 4 language specific variants is new with this release and
- replaces the previous single language variant that required the use of
- the ‘locl’ feature. This is where the name change occurred as we now
- tag the various versions with the name of the default language.
- * Region Specific OTF subsets
- - Each font file supports a region specific subset of the full fonts.
- These contain only the glyphs needed for the specific region. There
- are 28 of these font files - 4 languages x 7 weights.
