Message:

TTF-and-OTF fonts - more cleanups:

1. Remove redundant paragraph for Cantarell, left over from when it

was at gnome (latest gnome versions do not ship the fonts, only
the source - prepared TTF fonts are at Google fonts).

2. Reword the old KDE comment in Noto fonts, replace by mentioning

that Noto fonts are preferred for everything in KDE Plasma and
applications, except for monospace - and add link to Hack for that.

3. Comment Oxygen fonts.
