@jcrippen : please check https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/tree/master/phaseIII_only/unhinted/ttf/NotoMono or https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/tree/master/phaseIII_only/unhinted/otf/NotoMono or https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/blob/master/phaseIII_only/unhinted/variable-ttf/NotoMono-VF.ttf

Checked the fonts at https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/tree/master/phaseIII_only/unhinted/ttf/NotoMono and all appear to have the correct glyphs.

I note that this set of fonts is named “Noto Mono” rather than “Noto Sans Mono”. Should I expect to use this new name instead?

@jcrippen : Thank you and yes, please from now on please use “Noto Mono”
