Now that I'm into testing buildscripts which I only occasionally
use, I've taken a look at this. Although the version from google is
different from what I downloaded in the past, the coverage seems the
same, i.e. poor.
Looking at the OTF Regular font in the download from github, that
contains cyrillic (perhaps only the basic stuff) and greek. I'll
need to build texlive (for xelatex) to confirm which languages it
does/doesn't cover, but in the meantime I'll recommend that people
use the github version. Will update the fonts page after I've
sorted it out.
