Erwin, can you help me understand what is a "suitable localization
mechanism"? I filed bug 59983 ("Investigate noto font as potential
replacement for diverse font families") back in January because I thought
it could help with localization, so I'd really like to grok this.

Dumping Noto in the main font stack is not going to work as each Noto font is geared toward displaying a specific script. What I mean by 'mechanism' is not unlike ULS webfonts, which serves the appropriate font depending on the user agents requested language.

Noto is unsuitable in the context of this typography refresh (unless the refresh itrself will incorporate a similair mechanism).
