Done - actually not to that specific location because it's not a library, it's a set of scripts used to assemble one specific font family - but done.

pythonPackages.nototools: fix name & evaluation
1476962 
nototools was renamed by accident to notoTools in #31543
This broke evaluation of noto-fonts.

It appears that this PR increased the size of the noto-fonts closure from 25 MiB to 302 MiB. Since noto-fonts is included by the NixOS plasma module by default, we should either revert this PR or remove the noto-fonts dependency.

Ping @ttuegel who originally added the dependency on noto-fonts in .285061d50c1f0216a420a811d812e31ad4fe88a7.

Looking at the package it seems to come with different language variants:
i.e.; NotoSansHebrew-CondensedMedium.ttf

I don't think we need all of them.

The debian package is much smaller: https://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-noto-hinted

I agree that this is not going to work. We should see what Debian is doing differently, because KDE upstream would like us to supply all weights and styles of Noto for Plasma.

Debian's package is smaller because they are not including extra weights or unhinted fonts. Originally, Noto only offered the weights {Regular,Bold,Light,Italic,BoldItalic,LightItalic} (46MB), but now we have {,Extra,Semi}Condensed also (260MB). @benley Would it be alright with you if I limited noto-fonts to just the "ordinary" weights and put the extra weights in noto-fonts-extra? I think it would be OK to include the unhinted fonts for better Unicode coverage at the expense of the extra 20MB, but I think the extra weights are prohibitively large for the default configuration.

That sounds reasonable to me. My goal with #31543 was mostly just to get multicolor emoji glyphs working, and I guess we picked up a whole lot more font variants as a side effect.

noto-fonts: separate package for unusual weights
8f43bb4 
Noto provides a large number of unusual font weights so that the complete
package of fonts is more than 300 MB in size. Most of these weights are moved
into noto-fonts-extra; noto-fonts retains the ordinary weights and styles.
