1. Missing from Noto (compared with DejaVu):

Domino tiles

And the dozens of Noto variants don't help here?

In general I like Noto better now - have been using it for about a
month now - but what sucks a bit is the missing characters in the
"symbol" blocks. Is that disqualifying? I dunno...

Why don't we just try it out?
In general, the app_server should be smart enough to choose a fallback font that has the glyph, if available at all.
Switching the font will just increase the pressure to actually work on that finally :-)

You're in luck, Julian, nobody stepped up for that yet. :)

Hehe :-)

Bye,
