Latin Only version - Noto Sans #43

like it's not all One Font supporting 150k characters |
That's not for the general audience who want downloadable TTF files or access via CDN, who might not even know that these versions exist on GitHub. |
Oh, I see what you want - just Latin, i.e. no Greek or Cyrillic in https://github.com/notofonts/notofonts.github.io/blob/main/fonts/NotoSans/hinted/ttf/NotoSans-Regular.ttf? I think if you want that, it's better to make it yourself; it's not something we're likely to want to produce. Besides, the majority of the Noto Sans glyphs are actually Latin; the Greek and Cyrillic are quite small. It's just that there's a lot of Latin codepoints in Unicode... |
For what purpose? |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Considering that the Noto Sans Variable sizes are around 2.5MB, I prefer static styles. Even then, each style is about 500KB in TTF and 100KB in WOFF. Now, if we consider the usual 'Regular' & 'Bold' weights, which are often the only weights being used, it becomes 1MB in TTF and 200KB in WOFF. So, it's not really good in terms of size optimization.
Describe the solution you'd like
Noto Sans is already available in languages like Hebrew, Devanagari, etc. I suggest releasing a version with just Latin characters.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried https://transfonter.org/ to limit characters to Latin only, but it would always be better to get this via the source itself.
