Languages and scripts are not the same - e.g. my mother tongue, danish, uses the latin script, as does vietnamese: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin-script_alphabets When the font author counts _languages_ covered then indeed that is a larger number than that for scripts, because more than one language require only ASCII coverage of the latin script for full mapping. Checking language coverage is more difficult, as it requires inspecting not only metadata of script names declared, but also the coverage for each script and aligning that with mappings for each language - e.g. for danish if the non-ASCII glyphs ae o-slash aa Ae O-slash Aa are covered (and if they actually display something reasonably representing æ ø å Æ Ø Å as they are supposed to - not misplace o-slash with french oe or as some 90's crappy Truetype fonts did just repeat a o a A O A). There must be code out there to automate the task of inspecting language coverage, but I have not yet found anything useful to package for Debian. That would be nice, and I would certainly use it for package description of Noto fonts. I sure hope you had fun diving into this - and that I did not mislead you when suggesting to explore this. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
