I don't know about Uniscribe behavior here, but FontConfig, for example, detects language support based on certain character for each language (check fc-lang/*.orth files in FC source tree), it is even smart enough to not count empty glyphs for characters that should not be empty, so may be Uniscribe is doing similar tricks.
It is easy to open a font in FontForge and remove some features, generate and test. But if needed I can attach a set of fonts with various features added/removed.
Hi,
Yeah, I know uniscribe is doing more than just checking for characters because I have some fonts with arabic characters but none of the features and windows uniscribe rejects those fonts as not to shape.
I am working on a mac and fontforge here works very poorly when editing features so if you can generate the set of fonts that would greatly speed up my ability to test.
thanks! -aric
