Hi Stefan,
You are correct.
However, I stand by my statement that it covers Kharoh because it
does, in the same way that James Kass' Code2000 covers Burmese: it
includes the basic glyphs, but not the OpenType tables nessecary for
proper rendering of the script.
When I made the font, I had no
Dear Mark,
I was interested to see that you had taken the trouble to make a Kharosthi
font. It is exciting to see that people have noticed that Kharosthi is now part
of Unicode, and a complement to our efforts to have it included in the first
place, Thank you!
As for the font, as Stefan has

From what I know about Limbu, complex shaping requirements are
minimal and text can be read almost as easily without them.
I am glad to hear that.
As regards Kharosthi [...] although it definitely doesn't look
good and is probably very difficult and irritating to read.
Yes.

Please do not package this font as is. It purports to cover the
Kharoh block, but all the author did is copy the illustrative
glyphs from Unicode 4.1 into the corresponding encoding slots.
However, in common with the modern Indian scripts, a Kharoh
font also needs contextual replacement
PS. On closer inspection, it seems that the Kharoh glyphs in
the Damase font are in fact not just copies from the Unicode
charts, but original designs. Which is great! Id be interested
to hear (outside this bug report) what they were inspired by.
