Not sure what Kai meant, but what I would mean is the largest number of
scripts.

That said, some of the fonts that cover the widest variety of scripts are
also the worst in some of those scripts... (in the sense of positioning
diacritics nicely, or having sufficient conjuncts in the Indic scripts).
