The josm package uses the font-droid package in favor of the embedded 
copies included in the JOSM source tree, I've created an issue in the 
upstream tracker requesting them to switch to the Noto fonts too. This 
should keep the divergence of the Debian package to a minimum.

I'll update JOSM package to use the Noto fonts whether or not upstream 
decides to adopt them too.

Kind Regards,

Bas
