About

Noto Sans TC is a sans-serif typeface for Traditional Chinese, listed by Google Fonts. The Homebrew cask installs one font file, NotoSansTC[wght].ttf, in the user’s ~/Library/Fonts folder.

  • Font family: Noto Sans TC.
  • Format: TrueType (.ttf), with a variable-font weight axis indicated by [wght] in the filename.
  • Installed artifact: the single file NotoSansTC[wght].ttf.

Install it with brew install --cask font-noto-sans-tc. After installation, select Noto Sans TC in the font menu of an application that supports custom fonts. This cask installs a font, not a separate application.

The supplied listing identifies the font as intended for Traditional Chinese, but does not establish full Unicode coverage, specific glyph coverage, or ligature support.
