Font menu ordering improvement #243

1. Font menu ordering improvement
I'd like to install Noto on every single one of my workplace computers (hell, 
the font should damn well be included by default with every single OS out 
there...), but I know many of my colleagues would likely complain about the 
clutter; specifically the design team, who work with Photoshop and probably 
wouldn't enjoy having to climb past the huge list of Noto fonts included in the 
middle of the font selection menu.

However, there appears to be a solution of sorts: Photoshop lists fonts that're 
geared towards foreign alphabets towards the bottom of the font menu, which 
it's already doing for *some* Noto typefaces. I've included a screenshot:

I'm only peripherally familiar with the internal workings of font files, but 
I'm assuming it's a matter of including a header in the font's metadata that 
Photoshop picks up and uses to interpret a font file as being "foreign language 
support".

2. Minor typo in FAQ 
Last line of the answer to "Who designs Noto?", the word "the" is repeated 
twice:
"... some of the best talent in the __the__ font industry ..."

That's all. Keep it up! By the way, did I mention how much I love this font? 
;-) Noto's a godsend for linguaphiles, typophiles, and nerdy web-developers; as 
it is, I happen to be all three, hahaha. Keep it up, and thanks so much for all 
the dedication and hard work! :D
