Description

From Ran's comment: https://dotcom.wordpress.com/2015/05/28/google-fonts/#comment-29077

Unfortunately it seems like extra work is needed to get access to Alef Hebrew and the various extended charsets in Noto: https://www.google.com/fonts/earlyaccess - I don't think we get these through the API.

The best-case scenario would actually be to only show fonts specific to a user's blog language.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the linked Google Fonts early-access and API references, then inspect the plugin's current font-source handling. Before implementation, agree whether the goal is extended non-Latin charset support, filtering fonts by blog language, or both.
