I don't see what I'm looking for in either the hinted or unhinted fonts in noto-fonts on github. It seems a bunch of symbols were moved from Google's noto-fonts repository into noto-fonts-alpha around commit bc9353da6f625b7a47035de952c2e8fd9e3ae889 (in noto-fonts). I think this is really a regression, and shouldn't have been pulled into Debian. Symbols that were previously in "NotoFontsSymbols-*" are no longer found in noto-fonts, but are in noto-fonts-alpha. A list of the glyphs I am using, which are no longer found (with some exceptions scattered about) in the .deb (probably not the complete set, just what I noticed): ↑ U+2191 UPWARDS ARROW → U+2192 RIGHTWARDS ARROW ↓ U+2193 DOWNWARDS ARROW ↦ U+21A6 RIGHTWARDS ARROW FROM BAR ↶ U+21B6 ANTICLOCKWISE TOP SEMICIRCLE ARROW ⇐ U+21D0 LEFTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW ⇑ U+21D1 UPWARDS DOUBLE ARROW ⇒ U+21D2 RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW ⇓ U+21D3 DOWNWARDS DOUBLE ARROW ⇔ U+21D4 LEFT RIGHT DOUBLE ARROW ⇞ U+21DE UPWARDS ARROW WITH DOUBLE STROKE ⇟ U+21DF DOWNWARDS ARROW WITH DOUBLE STROKE ⇠ U+21E0 LEFTWARDS DASHED ARROW ⇡ U+21E1 UPWARDS DASHED ARROW ⇢ U+21E2 RIGHTWARDS DASHED ARROW ⇣ U+21E3 DOWNWARDS DASHED ARROW ⇥ U+21E5 RIGHTWARDS ARROW TO BAR ⇱ U+21F1 NORTH WEST ARROW TO CORNER ⇲ U+21F2 SOUTH EAST ARROW TO CORNER ∀ U+2200 FOR ALL ∂ U+2202 PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL ∃ U+2203 THERE EXISTS ∅ U+2205 EMPTY SET ∇ U+2207 NABLA ∈ U+2208 ELEMENT OF − U+2212 MINUS SIGN ∘ U+2218 RING OPERATOR √ U+221A SQUARE ROOT ∝ U+221D PROPORTIONAL TO ∞ U+221E INFINITY ∡ U+2221 MEASURED ANGLE ∥ U+2225 PARALLEL TO ∧ U+2227 LOGICAL AND ∨ U+2228 LOGICAL OR ∩ U+2229 INTERSECTION ∪ U+222A UNION ∫ U+222B INTEGRAL ⊂ U+2282 SUBSET OF ⊥ U+22A5 UP TACK ⌦ U+2326 ERASE TO THE RIGHT ⌧ U+2327 X IN A RECTANGLE BOX ⌫ U+232B ERASE TO THE LEFT ⎀ U+2380 INSERTION SYMBOL ⏎ U+23CE RETURN SYMBOL ␣ U+2423 OPEN BOX ♀ U+2640 FEMALE SIGN ♂ U+2642 MALE SIGN ⚥ U+26A5 MALE AND FEMALE SIGN ⟨ U+27E8 MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE BRACKET ⟩ U+27E9 MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET I feel that Debian should go back to the previous version of the NotoSansSymbols* files, but I understand that needs to be balanced against the additional work/problems with packaging an older version. The symbols I have listed are probably not used by many, but on the other hand users probably expect a relatively complete set of symbols from noto ("no tofu"). For my purposes I can get what I need from the following unhinted files in github/noto-fonts-alpha: NotoSansSymbols-Regular.ttf NotoSansSymbols2-Regular.ttf NotoSansMathGX.ttf which is a bit more work for me, but not too bad.
