I couldn't reproduce the exact error on my Fedora 38 system, but I can
give a few hints.
First, if LilyPond uses Noto Sans CJK for CJK text, that is because its
default fonts do not contain CJK characters, so it falls back to system
default fonts. This fallback is not something we're really proud of
(though avoiding it is non-trivial for technical reasons). I would
recommend always specifying the fonts you want if non-default.
```
\version "2.25.4"
\markuplist \table-of-contents
\paper {
fonts.serif = "Noto Serif CJK"
fonts.sans = "Noto Sans CJK"
}
\tocItem \markup "アマツキツネ"
\tocItem \markup "紙飛行機"
```
(Note that there were recent syntax changes for fonts; don't forget to run
convert-ly next time you "dnf upgrade lilypond".)
One possible source of problems is OpenType variable fonts. LilyPond doesn't
(yet, but will hopefully soon) support variable fonts, which Fedora ships by
default instead of normal fonts to save space. Try
```
sudo dnf remove google-noto-serif-cjk-vf-fonts google-noto-sans-cjk-vf-fonts
sudo dnf install google-noto-serif-cjk-fonts google-noto-sans-cjk-fonts
```
Best,
