I must say that I'm uncomfortable with this use of script-specific
fonts. These fonts are clearly intended to be used for specific
scripts/languages, not as the default font. Emacs allows, via the
fontset feature, to configure a set of fonts that is optimized for
covering large portions of the Unicode codespace, for exactly this
reason: it is impractical to expect a single font have good support
both for, say, the Japanese script and for other scripts, including
advanced text-shaping features such as ligation etc.
So I really suggest not to use these Noto fonts as the default font,
but instead configure your fontset such that only the Japanese
characters are displayed using this font.
