About
Noto Sans Arabic is a font package that installs one file, NotoSansArabic[wdth,wght]., in the user’s ~/ directory. The installed artifact is a variable font, as indicated by its width and weight axes in the filename. This package installs a font, not a separate application.
To install it with Homebrew, run brew install --cask font-noto-sans-arabic. After installation, select Noto Sans Arabic from the font list in an application that supports installed fonts. The font’s presence on the system alone does not make it the active choice in a document or interface.
The package includes only the listed font file. The supplied product information does not specify its full character coverage, supported applications, or additional styles, so those should not be inferred from the font name or filename.
