Libreoffice loads superTTC very slowly, can this package be changed to separate font files again?

Description:

After version 1.0.0, the package use Sarasa-SuperTTC.ttc which combines the fonts into one file. In this way, libreoffice starts much slower than using separate font files. After testing with strace, I found that libreoffice takes 3 minutes to load the font Sarasa-SuperTTC.ttc.

Additional info:

  • package version(s): After 1.0.0
  • config and/or log files:
  • link to upstream bug report, if any:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Use font version after 1.0.0
  2. Use strace -f -tt -T -o debug_libreoffice soffice to debug libreofficestrace.tar.gz
  3. Search the debug log, it shows that it took from 12:07 to 12:10 to load Sarasa-SuperTTC.ttc

Additional info2:

After testing, 0.42.6 loads fast. I presume it's because the individual font file is too large (772MB) after version 1.0.0 that causes this problem. So can this package continue to go with separate fonts, which named Sarasa-TTC-xxx in upstream?
