Akira Yokosawa	5384258f4e	docs: scripts/check-variable-fonts.sh: Improve commands for detection ... As mentioned in "Assumption:", current grep expression can't catch font files whose names are changed from upstream "Noto CJK fonts". To avoid false negatives, use command of the form: fc-list : file family variable , where ":" works as a wildcard pattern. Variable fonts can be detected by filtering the output with "variable=True" and "Noto CJK" font-family variants.

Akira Yokosawa	1e596d5eff	docs: Detect variable fonts and suggest denylisting them ... Fedora and openSUSE has started deploying "variable font" [1] format Noto CJK fonts [2, 3]. "CJK" here stands for "Chinese, Japanese, and Korean". Unfortunately, XeTeX/XeLaTeX doesn't understand those fonts for historical reasons and builds of translations.pdf end up in errors if such fonts are present on the build host. To help developers work around the issue, add a script to check the presence of "variable font" Noto CJK fonts and to emit suggestions. The script is invoked in the error path of "make pdfdocs" so that the suggestions are made only when a PDF build actually fails. The first suggestion is to denylist those "variable font" files by activating a per-user and command-local fontconfig setting. For further info and backgrounds, please refer to the header comment of scripts/check-variable-font.sh newly added in this commit.
