One of the things I have been doing since April [ and I still seem to be some way from finishing it 8-( ] is updating my notes on how various TTF and OTF fonts look, and what they cover (this got prompted by the Noto fonts used by kde5 - somehow, I lack enthusiasm for those which cover historical writing systems, and also for those where there seems to be nothing on the web).
On mailing lists I use rxvt-unicode which does NOT use fontconfig, so I have to specify which fonts it should use. Until today I'd never seen any georgian text on a mailing list, but I happen to be subscribed to freebsd-questions (that acts as a reminder that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence, and also helps me to remember that there are other views). That list gets quite a lot of spam, and today I got something which was almost certainly spam - but I looked at it and thought "that's georgian, isn't it ?" For once, I felt good about being able to render a spam posting (I can't read it, of course - so it is not much different from the occasional romanian spam I get at my lfs address). Makes a change from fighting xelatex trying to get things to render ;-) -- I had to walk fifteen miles to school, barefoot in the snow.
