People don't even actually know that there are ligatures in English, while for arabic, people would even have a hard time reading something that isn't using ligatures. > console does not support them nicely and we still use it.

The console can do 512 glyphs, not only 256, so eastern europe support is a matter of combining a latin1 font with parts of the other latin fonts. That already covers a lot of european languages.
