Rework GNU Freefonts text, Noto 'Latin' fonts include all recent
latin and cyrillic glyphs, the Freefonts only have minority glyphs
which were in Unicode in 2012. Noto is now preferred, so can
provide thos uncommon glyphs if it has been installed.

-      &ndash; This set of fonts covers many non-CJK characters, in
-      particular some of the variants of Latin and Cyrillic letters used in
-      minority languages, but the glyphs are comparatively small (unlike DejaVu
-      fonts which are comparatively large) and rather light weight ("less black"
-      when black on white is used) which means that in some contexts such as
-      terminals they are not visually pleasing, for example when most other
-      glyphs are provided by another font. On the other hand, some fonts used
-      primarily for printed output, and many CJK fonts, are also light weight.
