Update font to Noto Sans

[sisyga]

With the introduction of the new TUD CD the main font will change from Open Sans to Noto Sans. The font is compatible with Open Sans, but comes with a serif option and many more symbols (ie, better math support).
I suggest to update the tudscr package with the new font ASAP, before updating the rest of the CD according to the new guidelines later this year.

Is someone at this atm / is the package actively maintained? Thank you in advance for any info on this!

Nope, sorry. I left TUD and have currently no time at all to do anything about that. But there shall be a new LaTeX bundle tackling then new Corporate Design as far as I know. Maybe I will find some time in the future but for sure not this year.

What is meant with "shall be new LaTeX bundle ..."? I'm currently checking my Word and Quarto templates for thesis work (https://github.com/tpetzoldt/hyb-tud-thesis-starterkit), from which some depend on tudscr.

It is completely understandable that @mrpiggi cannot maintain forever, so I wonder if there is a central initiative ... and it would also be nice if someone would consider typst 😏

So the central unit for Corporate Design informed me, that someone will create a new bundle from scratch rather than continuing the development of tudscr. That's all I know.
