Hey, wait a second. Aren't you that same guy who opened 15 confusing, nonsensical, sloppy issues under another account?

In case you haven't realised, Google isn't Apple. And no, Google isn't going to design a Noto font for every single script in the Unicode standard, not unless there's actual demand for them. This is, by no means, a small project, and there are real people that have to design each and every glyph that goes into all these fonts. And designing those glyphs takes time. In a sense, font making is an art form. Not a science.

That's all I've got, but before you try and open another one of these 'design requests', think about the work that goes behind them.
