Great!

Noto and Droid do not have the same outlines for Latin/Greek/Cyrillic.
Noto Sans is a little bit wider but not as wide as Open Sans if I
recall correctly.
If documents are set with Droid it would be nice to have the fonts
still available in the future in some way or another.

Sure will take care for that.
