(^^ but not all steps are shared!)

I updates that font (updating noto is a pain .. there was a zip once, 
now one has to download per font unless i miss something).

Indeed you don't get kerns out of the box. Try this:

\char42\char38

and you will see a kern. However, that's the 'shared portion' so in 
order to get the rest you need to do:

\definefontfeature[default][default][script=latn]

as it looks like dflt/dflt is no longer does that ... keep in mind thta 
fonts are not downward compatible so never update (or let your syetem do 
it) in the middle of a project
