Traditional Chinese Noto is in fact Simplified Chinese

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While your website shows traditional chinese letters, the downloaded font 
actually is simplified Chinese.

If you're referring to the portion of the website shown in the screenshot, I 
strongly suspect that what you're seeing is an artifact of the "CJK" aspect of 
these fonts, specifically that they cover the entire URO and Extension A (over 
27,500 code points), so many of the code points are specific to Simplified 
Chinese, and only those that correspond to Big Five are expected to display 
correctly for Traditional Chinese.

For your purposes, you may find the Source Han Sans (same font configurations 
as Noto Sans CJK, but with different names) "ReadMe" file useful (clicking on 
the URL will download a 21-page PDF file):

You can also see http://www.google.com/get/noto/cjk.html 

The first 3 packaging methods listed in the above page all give you the 
following families in 7 weights : 

Noto Sans CJK TC
Noto Sans CJK SC
Noto Sans CJK JP
Noto Sans CJK KR

The character repertoire of all the 4 regional versions are identical. However, 
the default CJK Ideographic glyph variants are those corresponding to each 
region/language. For instance, Noto Sans CJK TC has the default CJK Ideographic 
glyph variants most widely accepted in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Non-default glyph 
variants can be accessed with Opentype's locl feature in applications like 
InDesign.
