Aah, this explains everything, thanks. LilyPond doesn't support OpenType Font Variations, and `NotoSans[wght].ttf` is such a font. Alas, rejecting it correctly doesn't work due to a bug in older FontConfig versions. It has been fixed in version 2.15; however, the LilyPond binary bundle for version 2.24.3 as available from lilypond.org still uses 2.14.2. AFAICS, even the current binary bundles for development versions use 2.14.2. See https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6613 for more information. The only viable solution is to remove all Variation Fonts, in particular the `google-noto-vf` package. It should be replaced with non-VF Google Noto fonts. Of course, installing the 'liberation' fonts also helps :-) I've opened https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6830 to track the update of FontConfig for LilyPond binaries. Werner
