+# tumbleweed have started deploying variable-font [3] format of "Noto CJK"

+# (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) pages. xeCJK requires XeLaTeX/XeTeX, which
+# does not (and likely never will) understand variable fonts for historical

+#
+# The build error happens even when both of variable- and non-variable-format
+# fonts are found on the build system. To make matters worse, Fedora enlists
+# variable "Noto CJK" fonts in the requirements of langpacks-ja, -ko, -zh_CN,
