What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Debian-based distributions (including Ubuntu and Mint)

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The section is introduced with

Below, you can find commands to execute on popular Linux distributions in order to install the Latin Modern Math and STIX Two Math fonts from your package manager.

and then for Debian-based distribution, this command is used:

sudo apt-get install fonts-lmodern fonts-stix

However, this will not install STIX Two, but STIX 1.1.1. Here is the Debian package: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-stix . It is currently orphaned and stuck on version 1.1.1 (the current version of STIX is 2.13).

I believe the same problem exists for openSUSE.

What did you expect to see?

I'm not sure what's best here. Maybe it's actually fine to install STIX 1.x. Though then the above text shouldn't talk about STIX Two. But the best might be to just remove the installation instructions for Debian and openSUSE.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
