Thanks! For font-google-noto-sans-cjk and font-google-noto-serif-cjk, will it be good to use "Super OTC" fonts? In my case, LibreOffice (flatpak version) was unable to recognize "Super OTC" edition but it is fixed now. There may still be some compatibility problems that I have not noticed.

Since in this series I'm switching to variable fonts, the (static) "Super OTC"
format has no advantage in either feature or size.
