1) We need to know all the information: language coverage of our current
DejaVu + VlGothic solution, language coverage of Noto in different
setups.
2) We need the visual comparison, and maybe test it a little in daily
usage.
3) Only if we can't reach an argument to one or the other solution, a
vote should be started.

For 2) we should also first implement the subpixel-positioning for our font rendering (i.e. precise positioning even when not using subpixel-rendering). It could make quite a difference. I'm still interested in doing this, although have little time lately and so I don't know yet when I get to it, could be some more weeks... (so if anyone else wants to do it and has more time currently, go ahead!)

Best regards,
Julian
