Latin Extended-C-D-E characters required

NotoSans (Latin)

Issue

There are a large number of research and related projects working on medieval texts that require characters found in the Unicode Latin Extended D range (also C and E and various other codecharts). The MUFI project (https://mufi.info) has worked over a number of years to get these characters into the Unicode standard.

The Cardo font covers a lot but not all Unicode additions, and in any case web applications require simple, high-quality fonts. Noto Sans aims for comprehensiveness so would be an ideal candidate for a font that supported these characters.

Potential projects that could make use of this font include: http://clarino.uib.no/menota/catalogue https://skaldic.abdn.ac.uk https://onp.ku.dk http://handrit.org

This would be a huge undertaking. The JuniusX fonts (see Junicode-New) are an update to the Junicode fonts, and have 100% coverage of the MUFI 4.0 character set, now, which includes much more than just Latin Extended C-D-E. MUFI 4.0 also defines many PUA code points. Unlike core Unicode, the MUFI spec is still evolving. Not good for general purpose fonts.

This should have been addressed with #392, but we will need to go through and check the new coverage.
