  Description     : “Source Han Sans TWHK” A sans-serif Pan-CJK font family
(TWHK subset) that is offered in seven weights

Source Han Sans is a sans serif Pan-CJK font family that is offered in seven
weights—ExtraLight, Light, Normal, Regular, Medium, Bold, and Heavy—and in
several OpenType/CFF-based deployment configurations to accommodate various
system requirements or limitations. As the name suggests, Pan-CJK fonts are
intended to support the characters necessary to render or display text in
Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Does it make sense to use separate source packages for each of the
languages covered by Source Han?  Are they likely to be updated
separately?

Hi, do you consider co-maintain this package with Debian Fonts Task
Force [0]?

They are not likely to be updated separately. I was just wondering if it’s too big for a single font package to exceed 100M. If that’s not a problem, one package would be great.

It probably makes sense to build separate binary packages, but they
could all be built from the same source package.  And each ITP is for a
source package.

Got the point. Is there anyway to remove/rename ITPs?

 1. create New Account at alioth.debian.org
 2. apply to pkg-fonts-devel
 3. someone would accept it
 4. then you can upload source to git repo (note: not package itself to package repo)
 5. review
 6. upload to NEW queue

Have a look at #754926 (fonts-noto).

Adobe Source Han Sans fonts are actually the same with Google's Noto
Sans CJK ones. Just different names.

Personally I prefer Noto as the name. Noto sounds more distinctive than
Source to me.
