  • noto-fonts, noto-fonts-emoji, noto-fonts-cjk, noto-fonts-extra: Covers a wide range of languages and special characters.

  • ttf-source-code-pro, ttf-source-sans-pro, ttf-source-serif-pro: High-quality fonts for Latin characters in monospace, sans-serif, and serif styles.

  • ttf-adobe-source-han-sans-otc, ttf-adobe-source-han-serif-otc: Great for East Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), providing sans and serif fonts.

  • ttf-hanazono: Includes historical CJK characters for ancient scripts.

  • ttf-liberation: Provides metric-compatible versions of Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New for document consistency.

  • ttf-dejavu: Often needed for games (like those from Valve) to prevent hard-to-read fallback text.
