Not one of the many hundreds of beautiful fonts I installed works, It shows up in my applications, but only western letters come out.
I have Sanskrit from another source that works.
What can be wrong?
I installed like I usually do, double click, and install font.
Please help me, I love these letters!

today I installed other old native fonts, they all worked, but not one from your massive pack. Why?

Thank you for your answer
"The Noto fonts published on this date were built using the newest fontmake which resolved an issue impacting Noto fonts on Windows. The following applications are affected: MS Write, MS Word and MS Powerpoint. Note that only fonts published on 2021.04.20 have this issue resolved. We are working on validating the other Noto fonts which will be published at a later date."
So are you working on a fix for this? I see when I try to install ANY noto font, that only Latin letters are shown in the preview.
I need to buy a mac to be able to use them? It´s first of all the Brahmi font I want, but of course many others.
I want to use them with word and other text applications. But as it is now, they won't install on my system.
Thank you

Hi Peppe, are you still having problems with this? The fonts should work on Windows, and should certainly install. It may just be that since they are Unicode fonts, the preview doesn't know what to do with them, so try installing them on your system anyway and seeing if they are available in your applications.
