That is why I suggest unicode blocks or unicode code point ranges,
which are different from the concept of the "script".
Well, I am not an expert and I might be wrong. Assigning different
fonts to different code points might still have problems which I
can't foresee.
On the other hand, I doubt there will be a single font which provide
enough OT support for all scripts in the unicode.
