I recently published a Bilibili video demonstrating ROCKNIX running on the newly supported AYANEO Pocket S Mini: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1FR8k6hEK7 It has reached 8,937 views and 108 comments so far, showing meaningful interest in ROCKNIX from Chinese-speaking handheld users. At the moment, selecting Simplified Chinese without a CJK font still leaves missing-glyph boxes in EmulationStation and Steam, so the localization is not fully usable. When you have time, I would appreciate a review of this PR. It would complete the Chinese user experience alongside ROCKNIX/emulationstation-next#28. Thank you. |

Summary
Add Noto Sans CJK SC to the ROCKNIX image so Simplified Chinese text is available to fontconfig applications such as Steam and to EmulationStation.

The source OTF is 16,437,364 bytes; compressed image impact has not been measured. The EmulationStation fallback is a symlink to avoid embedding the font twice.
This follows up #3177 and ROCKNIX/emulationstation-next#28. Related earlier font proposals: #2875 and #2880.
