Hmm. That table seems to only hint at which glyphs are available in the font; not what languages the font is "designed" for. Given that I'm already computing the actual set of glyphs in every font (at some considerable expense), it's not clear how I should approach this new information. Here's a thought -- those bits might form a helpful shorthand notation for unicode subsets; right now, I've no convenient representation for them. I can see how applications might want to create a font pattern that places greater emphasis on faces which are likely to cover a significant fraction of the document, this shorthand might make Unicode subsets easier to represent when using the ListFonts interfaces.
