Switch default UI font to Noto Sans

[korli]

Noto Sans Display isn't available anymore in newer releases of Noto.

Moreover the font was meant for titles (for instance see ​https://phabricator.kde.org/T10980#186388 ).

Perhaps we could get some screenshots for comparison?

Even if the font was meant for titles, it seems to look fine the way we're using it. I don't really see a problem with sticking with an old version; most fonts are released once and rarely upgraded anyway.

The screenshots of the (English) Haiku User Guide are all taken with Noto Sans Display, 10pt. The differences are probably small enough not to be noticed normally. Still, I keep the old Display version around. I'll attach a HPKG with the regular and bold versions, just in case...

Noto Serif Display are still included: ​https://github.com/notofonts/notofonts.github.io/tree/main/fonts/NotoSerifDisplay/hinted/ttf

Replying to humdinger:

Keeping the Display version around is an option, makes the hpkg a bit bigger...

Noto sans display is still available. ​https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans+Display

However, I am in favor of removing this in favor of Noto Sans. Noto sans works fine as a system font anf shipping both seems a bit wastefull.

I think Noto Sans looks more readable in these screenshots. A little bit of extra spacing makes all the difference.

I added the Noto Sans Display fonts in ​https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/pull/10097, to support beta4 (cost a few megabytes).
