NotoSans rendered incorrectly (missing) for Polish letters

The patches of Bug 20554 introduced a new pretty NotoSans font family as basic
font for OPAC.  A decision was taken to serve the font files from Koha
installation, not from Google font API.  Unfortunately, the copy of the font
files in Koha lacks non-standard (probably those outside iso 8859-1 set?)
accented Roman letters (among others, Polish).  

As a result the user is presented with the page which is--typographically--hard
to accept (cf. attached screenshot -- Windows 10, Chrome 74.0.3729.169; BTW, on
my Android 9 everything seems to be OK -- probably thanks to the local, system
copy of the font?).

Possible solutions could be:
1) update the Koha copies of the font files with the up-to-date version
2) let css get the font from Google font API
(href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans&display=swap")

Can be tested--for instance--with Polish letters: 
ACELNOSZZ
ĄĆĘŁŃÓŚŻŹ
acelnoszz
ąćęłńóśżź
