Support for sarasa-gothic-ttc-unhinted #182

When I install the Sarasa Gothic package with Scoop, the font takes up over 10G of my storage, which is very storage-intensive. I might as well install a few common Sarasa Gothic fonts manually.

.ttc is much smaller than .ttf, and unhindered is smaller than hinted with almost no effect on the display

You are right. The ttc version takes way less space (730 MB) compared to ttf version (10.8 GB), and even region-specific ttf takes 1.8GB. We should probably add notes that directs user to install the ttc version when they are installing the ttf one.

Will add it later.

Generally +1 for this.

I think only if you have specific use case, otherwise installing the ttc version is better as it takes less space with no drawbacks.

The only edge case I found is that ttc format may not supported in Windows 7, but I think most of the scoop users are using Windows 10/11 nowadays. 🤣
