If my own system is any guide, that may be an overly broad sort of
question.
$ fc-list | wc -l
2479
$ fc-list | grep noto | wc -l
1847
$ fc-list | grep -v noto | wc -l
632
Asking for the output of something that produces potentially thousands
of lines may be slightly ill-advised (although asking the user to check
that output and report back might be another story, and now that I look
back it's not entirely clear which of the two you were intending).
The above is with the following installed package set:
dpkg -l "fonts-noto*" | grep ^ii
ii fonts-noto-core 20201225-1 all "No Tofu" font
families with large Unicode coverage (core)
ii fonts-noto-extra 20201225-1 all "No Tofu" font
families with large Unicode coverage (extra)
ii fonts-noto-mono 20201225-1 all "No Tofu" monospaced
font family with large Unicode coverage
ii fonts-noto-ui-core 20201225-1 all "No Tofu" font
families with large Unicode coverage (UI core)
I don't think I was aware that there are color versions, and I certainly
don't think I'd want them.
(FWIW, with this set installed, I see actual glyphs rather than the
"tofu' for each of the four in Jonathan Dowland's .sig - although I
can't actually quite tell what the second one is, even at full
enlargement.)
