Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

If SteamOS is going to bundle a slew of utterly useless Noto fonts for dead languages, it should be consistent and for one of the actually in-use ones, to provide Noto Sans Display. Why? Because it already provides Noto Serif Display, so it's an inconsistency only having Display for Serif but not Sans.

I know I can just install it myself as a personal font.

PS. Really should remove the dead language Noto fonts. Nobody alive is going to be using them with a Steam Deck. It is clutter. They can install them as a personal font. :)

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Look at font management in the settings and observe that the system font listing doesn't include it.

Noto Sans Display fonts have been removed from their monthly upstream releases, while Noto Serif Display remain, see: https://github.com/typst/typst/pull/3388#issuecomment-1955973479

As that issue tells, they have been removed without further explanation: https://github.com/notofonts/latin-greek-cyrillic/commit/974d00e8e80cdbc4a41704937a9bcfc7988b5945

So SteamOS basically bundles what it comes in their default releases, it doesn't attempt to pick additional fonts specifically, nor tries to remove existing ones (which perhaps it could for these storage-related reasons, but in the end most files are well below 1MB, only a handful beyond that).

This is the default and what many distros follow, sometimes splitting in several packages, but basically following the same structure.

Is there any particularly good reason to ship the Noto Sans Display font if upstream have removed it?
