A "collection" is merely a container format for multiple fonts that allows 
'sfnt' table sharing, and mate-font-viewer is simply displaying the first of 
the 28 font instances, which happens to be Japanese (Noto Sans CJK JP) and the 
Thin weight. If you install the smaller per-weight OTCs, the Japanese font 
instance would be the one to display. To me, this feels like a limitation of 
mate-font-viewer in that it is not 'sfnt' collection-savvy.

Thanks for explaining!  Then it seems to be mate-font-viewer's 
lack-functionality to list multiple fonts and only just use the first one.  
This issue should be closed.

Just FYI, I filed a issue report to mate-font-viewer at
https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-control-center/issues/118
