Dear FontConfig & PackageKit developers,
I've recently worked on automatic font installation in Gecko-based
applications using PackageKit [1]. The current patch to add
notifications for missing glyphs in Gecko relies on script tags as
defined in iso15924 [2] [3]. So it would help if fontconfig & PackageKit
would be able to handle some metadata for these script tags, for example
:script=Khmr (at the moment I think only the :lang tag is supported).
Also, I'm interested in automatic installation of math fonts, so it
would be important to support the code "Zmth=Mathematical notation" too.
This script does not correspond to any Unicode script, but you can find
some relevant ranges in http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/#blocks
(especially the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols are important and are
required for [4])
Thanks,
