[Nix-dev] Call for input method PR review

[Eric Sagnes]

There are quite a lot of international fonts available in nixpkgs.
The few I use are IPAFont (Japanese) and baekmuk (Korean) and they look
very decent.

For other languages, there is the noto font that self advert as
"Beautiful and free fonts for all languages" also available.

Fonts are easy to package, and in case you find a font not available yet
in nixpkgs that should be in, just add an issue.

The best part with fonts in NixOS is that they can be configured in
configuration.nix with `fonts.fonts` and `fonts.fontconfig`.
