Dear Maintainer,
The Estuary skin in package kodi-data provides a symlink for
Roboto-Thin.ttf:
/usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary/fonts/Roboto-Thin.ttf ->
../../../../fonts/truetype/roboto/unhinted/Roboto-Thin.ttf
While bug #1070345 updated the symlink from 'hinted' to 'unhinted', the
resulting
symlink is still dangling. The package fonts-roboto-unhinted (version
2:0~20170802-4)
installs its font files into a 'RobotoTTF' subdirectory:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/roboto/unhinted/RobotoTTF/Roboto-Thin.ttf
Because of this path mismatch, Kodi logs an error on every startup:
CFontUtils::GetFontPath - unable to find font file: Roboto-Thin.ttf
and falls back to alternate fonts.
Please update debian/kodi-data.links to include the RobotoTTF/ subdirectory.
