I aimed for full Unicode 8.0.0 glyph coverage in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/10470, coming pretty close (99.45%). The remaining glyphs are obscure ancient languages. The easiest (and most colorful) way I found to test is the Unicode Wikibook: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/Character_reference/0000-0FFF
The glyphs by themselves are not everything; there are some missing combining forms and ligatures, the kerning/sizing seems weird, and of course "artistic quality" must be considered, so feel free to package more. -- Mathnerd314 On Sun, Feb 21, 2016 at 10:40 PM, Raahul Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > I see Lohit and Marathi, but that compares poorly to Debian/Fedora/Arch > etc etc, which have the entire set of Bharati languages working out of the > box.
