Describe the package

Currently the fonts that are included with Bazzite and Fedora by extension work fine but if you have any friends on say, discord who use strange characters in their usernames, these simply will not render correctly because Fedora seemingly doesn't have ALL the noto fonts installed by default.

Because these symbols are often strewn about a million billion different versions of Noto Sans, it's probably easier to just fold the "google-noto-fonts-all" metapackage into bazzite going forwards so the system by default is equipped with the whole range of Noto fonts to prevent the system tripping up on strange unicode symbols.

This also means you don't have to manually add the font at a user level and then use flatseal to grant permissions to the fonts folder as everything would be system level instead

Hello,

Although the batteries-included compatibility aspect of pre-installing all google-noto* packages would be nice, I would be reluctant to bring this request to the attention of more involved maintainers because it appears that set includes up to 319 packages and a full gigabyte of disk space. Restricting the proposed packages to google-noto-sans* brings that to (up to) 240 packages and 622MB of disk space, which still seems like a lot to pack into every image on an arbitrary range of devices.

If you are able and willing to track down which precise missing font packages have demonstrably caused issues or are highly likely to, I believe it would lend a lot of weight to the package request. Thank you for your time and bringing attention to a potential improvement.
