If you look at current generation browsers, they assign fonts by default to all language scripts by their unicode plane. Say, Greek="Palatino Linotype" etc. They also allow you to change the default font settings.

It would be a nice idea to build a default package in XeLaTeX that would use these fonts.

Alright, alright, I confess, I should just finish the damn "ucharclasses" package >_>

For the moment the dev version is here: http://projects.nihongoresources.com/downloadables/ucharclasses.tgz documentation here: http://projects.nihongoresources.com/downloadables/ucharclasses.pdf

I still need to add in selective unicode block load options, and ideally follow up on Jonathan's suggestion from way back when, to add in script tags in addition to the current "blind" unicode blocks (although I suspect that would be more for a v2, since ambiguity is king when it comes to script).

I'm swamped with wrapping up my work before moving from Europe to Canada, Jan 1st, but I'll try to get it cleaned a little and CTANed over the weekend.

If anyone has a better package name for it before I sent it up to CTAN, feel free to pipe up and I'll change it to something more intuitive for users.
