• OpenTF Renames Itself to OpenTofu

  * in computing, the rectangles that get shown when a font doesn't support a Unicode character (thus the Noto(fu) font: https://fonts.google.com/noto) I understand why the name change was needed, and "tofu" probably was the most straightforward alternative, but still... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Debian bookworm. Vimix theme with KDE

  Noto Sans: This is Google's Android font family, it supports just about every language and emoji, and looks pretty slick in every language I can read. Source: 11 months ago

• [App Feedback] Moneygram - Track Expenses, Open Source

  For the emojis I'm using Noto font available on Google Font - https://fonts.google.com/noto. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to search the longest Unicode character?

  What I'm personally using for this is Noto (short for "no tofu," with "tofu" referring to the missing character glyphs), accessible with noto-fonts and noto-fonts-extra (there's also noto-fonts-emoji which might be useful), though each pretty much needs to be added as a fallback separately. For CJK / Han characters, Babelstone (at babelstone-han) has good coverage, though the version in Nixpkgs isn't quite up to... Source: over 1 year ago

• Ukrainian and russian text is bolder than English and it's driving me crazy

  In a font that supports multiple writing systems, whether Latin, Cyrillic, or even Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters, the glyphs from different systems should be designed to harmonize. Having different visual weights is incorrect. See Google's Noto font family, for example. Source: over 1 year ago
