(That's not yet mentioned on the page.) Now, Gentium also contains Greek glyphs, and some other fonts contain Cyrillic. Which encoding should I provide for these scripts? (Only one for each, if possible!) Is there any way how I could automatically detect, how much of some encoding a font covers? E.g. check a font (TTF, OTF, AFM?) against texnansi, ec, qx, t5, t2a... and make the files for it if most of the slots could be filled. Something completely different: I'm looking for an idea how I could automatically create a small font preview (one line) as a bitmap. Greetlings from Lake Constance!
