Hi, Brian.
Probably, I see the point.
But, we already have a package noto-cjk-fonts-1.004-1,
which is an OpenType/CFF Collection (OTC).
cf. https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/cjk/
$ cygcheck -l noto-cjk-fonts
/etc/fonts/conf.d/66-google-noto-sans-cjk.conf
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/66-google-noto-sans-cjk.conf
/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSansCJK-Black.ttc
/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSansCJK-Bold.ttc
/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSansCJK-DemiLight.ttc
/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSansCJK-Light.ttc
/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSansCJK-Medium.ttc
/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc
/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSansCJK-Thin.ttc
And I expect a package of the other OpenType/CFF Collection (OTC),
which contains NotoSerifCJK-*.ttc, for completeness and consistency.
Regards,
