Bug#837926: debian-installer: please use fonts-noto-hinted to display the Sinhala script
Package: debian-installer Version: 20160630 Severity: important Please use fonts-noto-hinted to display the Sinhala script The LKLUG font is viewed as deprecated and we've been trying to encourage other fonts that can succeed as the default Sinhala font on GNU/Linux. At this stage the Noto Sinhala range, in fonts-noto-hinted, is a more appropriate default font than LKLUG. See the discussion here: http://sourceforge.net/p/sinhala/mailman/message/34481529/ $ apt-cache rdepends fonts-lklug-sinhala fonts-lklug-sinhala Reverse Depends: task-sinhala-desktop $ dpkg -L fonts-noto-hinted | grep -i sinhala /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansSinhala-Bold.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansSinhala-Regular.ttf Thanks, #

IIRC, that's what was done in Fedora. cya, #
