Deb has missing dependencies on (my) Ubuntu 22.04

[cpsyctc]

Version (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (up to date)
• Version Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
• Package deb

Describe the bug
Broken dependency in the deb. See below. I tried a quite web search but couldn't see pointer to the missing fonts.
I realise I could go for the appimage but I try to avoid appimages and snaps where I can get a deb and I guess that if
you are distributing a deb you would want to know about this.

Thanks for the app, and all the hard work, it looks a great app.

To Reproduce

dpkg -i jexiftoolgui-2.0.1.deb

Sorry for this very late comment (had corona for almost 2 weeks and was really sick. Still recovering).
the aphic-akai fonts are standard in Debian and needed for Chinese characters. I had never expected that Ubuntu would not have these. I will remove the dependency in a next release and just make it a comment to install them on Debian via apt-get.
I just found that Ubuntu uses different kind of fonts for Chinese characters.

What a lovely message. I do hope you've recovered from the cv-19: it's a really nasty bug still isn't it? I'll try to install the deb again at some point, it's not urgent for me but looked very useful to make things easier.

I simply removed the dependency from the control file. There are now some more "exotic" languages as well. I assume a linux user using Chinese will install the relevant Chinese character sets anyway to be able to use Chinese at all.
