The Droid font has been superseeded by the Noto family upstream in Android. This resulted in Debian and inherently Ubuntu too dropping support for the first in favor of the latter. This CL ensures that tests will pass on both older and newer debian based distros.

The gomobile tests currently depend on the availability of the
fonts-droidpackage (or more correctly, the DroidSanf font). According to this issue from last November, debian dropped maintaining thefonts-droidpackage in favor of the choice of Androidfonts-noto. As such, newer Ubuntu releases don't have the droid fonts available any more (Xenial and upward), so gomobile tests will always fail there.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
