Google renamed them from Droid* to Noto* and added hinting to improve them.

I plan to test their rendering on Windows and Linux, as those are the 
systems i have, as well as their print quality. Exporting to PDF will

also worth checking.

Here is the odt i created on linux from the various arabic fonts, as 
well as the pdf.
