Issue

  1. Steps to reproduce
    I'd like to use Noto Sans Math as an alternative to Cambria Math for MS Word's equation editor. I've installed the font (and uninstalled it multiple times to try), opened MS Word, inserted a formula, gone to the equation editor's menu ribbon on "Convert" to open the "equation options" and try to select Noto Sans Math in the drop down at "Default font for math regions"

  2. Observed results
    Noto Sans Math does not appear in the drop down.

  3. Expected results
    I'd expect NotoSans MAth to appear in the drop down menu. Note that other alternative math fonts such as Fira Math or Erewhon Math do appear in said drop down menu and work fine with MS Word's equation editor.
