Add Noto Sans Lao font

Motivation

The recently merged Lao language (#7952) renders poorly with the default monospace font because it was not designed for Lao script. Noto Sans Lao provides proper glyph support, correct tone mark positioning, and natural spacing for Lao characters — making the typing experience significantly better for Lao users.

Changes

  • Added frontend/static/webfonts/NotoSansLao-Regular.woff2
  • Added @font-face entry in frontend/src/scss/fonts.scss
  • Registered Noto Sans Lao in the fonts list

Font details

  • Font: Noto Sans Lao
  • Publisher: Google Fonts / Monotype
  • License: SIL Open Font License 1.1 (OFL) — free and open source ✅
  • Format: WOFF2
  • Script support: Lao (Unicode block U+0E80–U+0EFF)

Checklist

  • Adding a font?
    • Add font file to frontend/static/webfonts
    • Add font to packages/schemas/src/fonts.ts
    • Add font to frontend/src/ts/constants/fonts.ts

Notes

Noto Sans Lao is part of Google's Noto font family, specifically designed to support all Unicode characters without tofu (missing glyphs). It is the standard recommended font for Lao script rendering on the web.
