There is an issue with the Rubik Family, open upstream since 2017 link 1, which causes it not to be rendered at all (at least inside Firefox, example link 2).
In the meantime a workaround is to revert the incriminated commit link 3, for example adding to the PKGBUILD:
prepare() {
cd fonts
git revert -n dfd435109b718b1c5a8da7bd0872c751e2ae1820
}
Installing this package breaks emojis, the same ones provided by noto-fonts-emoji.

I'm unable to install this with ttf-gentium-plus, since this package provides ttf-sil-fonts and ttf-gentium-plus conflicts with ttf-sil-fonts. But it doesn't seem like this package contains any of the SIL fonts anymore (except Gentium Basic, which isn't included in ttf-sil-fonts). Could that "provides" designation be removed?
@andrewSC: strange, I did not have ttf-google-fonts-typewolf installed, I only had that package listed as available from a custom added repository which I don't even use. So I disabled the repo in pacman.conf and it now installs fine. Thanks!
nightuser: Resolved the problem, thanks for pointing it out!
fuan_k: You'll need to uninstall ttf-google-fonts-typewolf in order to install this package. I've updated the conflicts array to reflect this.
I get an inner conflict error trying to install with yay (9.0.1):
:: Checking for conflicts...
:: Checking for inner conflicts...
==> Inner conflicts found:

Unavoidable conflicts, aborting
One of the new fonts doesn't have proper name in English:
: Can't translate pathname 'usr/share/fonts/站酷小薇体/' to UTF-8 : Can't translate pathname 'usr/share/fonts/站酷小薇体/ZCOOLXiaoWei-Regular.ttf' to UTF-8 : Can't translate pathname 'usr/share/licenses/ttf-google-fonts-git/LICENSE.站酷小薇体' to UTF-8
Perhaps we should rename it to something that uses latin alphabet (ZCOOLXiaoWei probably?).
Just installed the package. Build fails, because some files have new names (without special characters). Can confirm previous comments: Just remove the section from the PKGBUILD starting with:
"# NOTE: Since the nanum* and hanna Korean font families have special characters we need to change"
Should we tag this package as unmaintained?
+1 for zip and please fix the PKGBUILD issue with Korean fonts, it's literally commenting out 6 lines...
+1 for downloading as zip, and fix for Korean fonts related problem

If you're having an issue upgraded with errors related to fonts like merriweather, here's my steps to resolve the issue (assuming you have Yaourt):
#Clear out what you had before
yaourt -R fonts-meta-extended-lt
sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)
sudo pacman -R ttf-google-fonts-git
sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)
#Install dependencies
yaourt -S ttf-merriweather-sans ttf-opensans ttf-oswald ttf-quintessential ttf-signika
yaourt -S fonts-meta-extended-lt
#Heads up, if ttf-impallari-cantora isn't fixed yet, change the PKGBUILD source to the URL in the comments on the package
yaourt -S ttf-impallari-cantora
yaourt -S ttf-google-fonts-git
