Can't specify Noto Sans CJK in MS IE

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Noto Sans CJK / Korean / Japanese / Hans/Hant on Windows
2. Start MS IE
3. Go to Internet Options | Fonts
4. Select Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese 
5. The list of fonts available for the language selected in step 4 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: Noto Sans CJK is among the fonts in the list. 

Actual : It's not among the fonts. So Noto Sans CJK can't be set to be used for 
ko, ja, hans, hant

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Firefox and Chrome do not have this problem. Somehow, IE's language filter 
appears to filter out this font.

The first thing to check is whether IE is filtering based on outline format, 
meaning that OpenType/CFF fonts might be excluded as a whole.

In Chrome (ver 38) Noto Sans CJK does appear on the font enumeration and can be 
chosen from there, but doing so does NOT take effect at all. Umbrella font 
(Gulim in this case) is used in rendering, which is really ugly.
