> I would appreciate very much your comments to the quoted passages: what is the meaning of "script" or "writing system" in this context? How the system can check whether the font supports a given script or not? Is it a property of a font? If so, how is it encoded? Please take a glance on the document about OpenType text layout system; http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/TTOCHAP1.htm The document uses the word "language system", but it would be almost same with the "writing system" in this context.
