Are the Noto fonts from Google OpenType?

Are Google's Noto font family OpenType and will they work in Adobe InCopy?

    Regardless of whether you activate the Noto Sans fonts via the Adobe Fonts service or download and install them directly from Google, the Noto Sans font family are OpenType TrueType fonts (i.e., OpenType with TrueType quadratic outlines) from Monotype that should work without any issues in Adobe applications including InCopy (and more importantly InDesign) as well as Illustrator, Photoshop, FrameMaker, Acrobat, etc.

      How do I delete NOTO fonts.  They are annoying and leaves long fonts before I can look for the right font.  Thank you.

      Just discovered your post from last year.

       

      I admit, Noto's premise is to create a font for every language and dialect on the planet, including ancient and indigenous peoples' languages, so when the entire family is downloaded and installed, you end up with the unwieldly list of fonts shown in your screen captures. There are close to 200 language and symbol variations at this time.

       

      How to remove them:

       

      If you have a font manager installed, use it to locate, select, and either deactivate or fully delete the unneeded versions from your system.

       

      If you acquired them through Adobe's font service, use the Creative Cloud manager app to remove them from your system.

       

      If on a Mac, use Apple fontbook to view and delete the versions you don't need.

       

      And if on Windows, go to C:/Windows/Fonts, select the fonts, and select Delete from the right-click menu.

       

      Hope this helps.
