Difficut task I would imagine. At least two complications: You have to sort by script x language. For example, Latin script for English language is probably considered "simple", whereas Latin script for some other langage that requires diacritic positioning, etc., would be considered complex. You need to specify what level of legibility is targeted. Taking Latin again, for English: no ligatures or swashes are required for nominal legibility, but such are desired for fine typography, in which case even Latin for English is complex. Bob
