Thank you for the feedback.

What if you install google-noto-sans-cjk-fonts instead of
google-noto-sans-cjk-vf-fonts?
just wanted to make sure if this is a variable font-related issue or
design-related update in Noto CJK.
Also, good to try on non-flatpak app too. it is a bit complicated to
make sure if they use the expected fonts.
The best way may be to check it out on pango-view and hb-view.
