Description

@nathan-williams As best I can tell, all Noto fonts, except for Noto Symbols 2 (which gets it right), incorrectly display braille cells with only right side dots (4 5 6 8) as if they were left shifted (to 1 2 3 7), at least on Android.

See previously #325 reported by @sshbio and responded to by @davelab6.

Here's a full test set. The left one of each pair should be left aligned, the right one right aligned. I've included pipes and 12374568 full cells to help see the alignment.
