I haven't had time to look this up yet, but I imagine fontconfig
currently only matches charsets exactly. It would be nice to search
for “all fonts containing at least <charset>”. “all fonts containing
a charset that exactly matches <charset>” doesn't seem as useful, but
perhaps “all fonts containing any of <charset>” may be useful.
Borrowing from set theory, how about:
:charset={06cc,064a}
All fonts whose charset exactly matches {06cc,064a}.
:charset=n{06cc,064a}
The intersection of {06cc,064a} and the font's charset is not
empty (all fonts containing any of {06cc,064a})
:charset=>{06cc,064a}
{06cc,064a} is a subset of the font's charset (all fonts
containing at least {06cc,064a})
:charset=<{06cc,064a}
{06cc,064a} is a superset of the font's charset (all fonts
containing no characters outside of {06cc,064a})
I'm mostly interested in the subset query (>{XXXX,…}). Do folks want
any of the others?
Cheers,
Trevor
