This PR adds the Noto Serif JP font from noto-cjk, using "Region Specific Subset OTFs Japanese (日本語)".
I've decided to use this version, instead of the subset version suggested in WordPress/wporg-main-2022#427, because this is a variable font. This means we have access to all weights (just like EB Garamond) without having to load multiple font files. This version has also been updated since the subset versions were made.
The font file has been added to the global-fonts CSS, so that w.org sites can use this with
font-family: "Noto Serif JP";
. The font can also be marked for preloading withglobal_fonts_preload( 'Noto Serif JP', 'cjk' );
.Followup PRs to the parent theme and main theme are in progress to actually use the font.
Fixes WordPress/wporg-main-2022#427
