roadmap towards pure variable fonts #4746
Description
- Variable fonts have the advantage of flexibility and size, as well as uniformity in font names.
- Packages such as fontconfig have been compatible with variable fonts for a long time.
- eweOS currently packages variable and non-variable fonts separately.
In the future, eweOS will gradually use variable fonts to replace non-variable fonts, and eventually try to remove redundant non-variable fonts from repository.
