For reference, Windows 11 25H2 is the same core base as 24H2 with an "enablement package" applied. What this means is that the fonts from 26100.XXXX and 26200.XXXX should be the same, provided the XXXX part is equal (or later). This should be true for at least the life of 25H2, provided your 24H2 SKU is still getting updates. So keep this in mind if staying on the 24H2 branch for any reason.

I updated it with those fonts since they are common, thanks.

@Vaporeon Thanks for reverting the six Simplified Chinese FOD fonts. I rechecked the classification, and I believe the revert also removed two fonts that should remain in this pkgbase: - SansSerifCollection.ttf is documented by Microsoft as a Windows 11 system font used for many newly supported scripts. It is not listed in any Font Feature on Demand package: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/fonts-layout/font-support#windows-11 - SimsunExtG.ttf was introduced through KB5050094 for Windows 11 24H2 all editions, rather than through the Simplified Chinese Supplemental Fonts FOD: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/servicing/os/windows-11/2025/01/january-28-2025-kb5050094-os-build-26100-3037-preview Microsoft's Simplified Chinese FOD list contains only DengXian, FangSong, KaiTi, and SimHei, corresponding to the six files that caused the build problem: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/fonts/windows_11_font_list#chinese-simplified-supplemental-fonts Therefore, I suggest restoring only: - SansSerifCollection.ttf in the main font array - SimsunExtG.ttf in the Simplified Chinese array The other six fonts should remain excluded and be provided by a separate FOD package. This also agrees with the earlier report that precisely those six files (not these two) were missing from an updated base installation. I can prepare this narrower patch if you agree.

Alright, I see. Seems like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ms-win11-fod-wu can get the extra fonts using AI-written magic tools...

Vaporeon commented on 2026-08-30 00:31 (UTC)

They were removed, because those fonts are only in a language pack and this package is meant to track the common base install. Having them included would mean everyone who wants to fully build the package would need the language pack installed too. The correct thing to do would be to have separate packages on the AUR for the language pack fonts themselves.

Ketchup901 commented on 2026-08-29 20:29 (UTC)

Were the fonts moved to a new package or just removed? Why not include them in the -zh_cn package?

whao commented on 2026-08-27 20:22 (UTC)

@username227 @Vaporeon Yes, it should be moved to a separate extra package. Sorry for introducing in inconveniences

Vaporeon commented on 2026-08-26 09:14 (UTC)

Fixed, sorry for the noise.

elv commented on 2026-08-25 17:14 (UTC)

As pointed out in the latest comments, could someone please revert the latest commit introducing Chinese fonts for everyone?

username227 commented on 2026-08-20 22:59 (UTC)

@xtazee, yeah that makes sense. windows is bloated enough. IMHO, I agree with @Vaporeon that they should be moved to a separate package.

xtazee commented on 2026-08-20 22:38 (UTC)

@username227 Those fonts are part of the Chinese (Simplified) language pack. Before copying the Font directory from Windows 11, you need to install the 'Chinese (Simplified, Mainland China)' language pack. If all you want are the fonts, you can just select 'Basic typing' when installing the language pack.
