Okay, what is the font supposed to have?
Is this list correct??
1. Han
2. Kana
3. Hangul
4. Those many, many Latin letters with diacritics for Vietnamese use
5. Probably also ASCII and misc. Han punctuation and similar odds and ends

The three words PUA usage description are redundant, methinks. Removing
them leaves a more concise and dramatic example of a weird proposal.

The problem with your glyph statistics is that they
are based on mould counts employed by the Monotype hot metal
typesetters.
The Monotype system was capable of extensive
kerning, and therefore many glyphs were constructed from the elements provided
by the moulds at the time of composition.
Hi.
Well, it can be said to be above the minimum :-) depending on
how you look at things. If you're a developer of embedded
device with a
really stringent requirement in memory footprint (for font
and others),
you may just go with 1:1 ratios for all three groups of Jamos

I agree: no one will ever come up with *the* correct count.
Such general evaluations simply depend on too many things to be useful.

Simon,
I now
see that you support both "UTF8" where surrogates are encoded as 6 bytes and
"AL32UTF8" where surrogates are encoded as 4 bytes. The way your
documentation reads many users are likely to select "UFT8" over
"AL32UTF8". You should have users who already have UTF8 databases
If we mean CJK why can't we say CJK?

If you have this funny encoding please don't call it UTF8 because it is not
UTF8 and will only confuse users. You could call it OTF8 or something like
that but not UTF8.
How about WTF-8?
Sorry - I couldn't resist.

Liwal,
Such classifications are not easy. For example Azeri can be written in both
Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The Latin script is much like Turkish which has
the dotted and dot-less i. This is not necessarily be big issue for fonts
but is requires special case shifting logic.
What do you do

I resisted calling it FTF-8 (Funky Transfer Format - 8), but
if you want to
call it Weird Transfer Format - 8, I don't have any real objections.
Well, that's ONE possible translation of WTF...

We seem to have strayed from searching for a clearer term than Asian. I
think part of the problem is that many language names are also national
adjectives, e.g., Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Likewise names of scripts

My goal was never to give a specific number of glyphs needed to display a
particular Indian or other script. As others have pointed out, this
depends among other things, on the particular display device and its font
processing
James,
One of the reasons for grouping CJK together is that they have similar
implementation strategies. If we are grouping for that reason then maybe
Aramaic languages should fall into the same category. In that case Asian
is a very poor term to use. However Han/Hanzi does not work either.
