Eh? How would one leverage that to handle my font defines of (below) for
only a fixed range of unicode?

(The Unicode block for Cherokee is U+13A0 ... U+13FF)

\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,

Scale=MatchLowercase,

BoldFont={Aboriginal Serif/B},

BoldFeatures={Scale=MatchLowercase},

ItalicFont={*},

ItalicFeatures={Scale=MatchLowercase,FakeSlant=0.3},

BoldItalicFont={Aboriginal Serif/BI},

BoldItalicFeatures={Scale=MatchLowercase},

SmallCapsFont={*},

SmallCapsFeatures={Scale=MatchLowercase,FakeBold=4}]{Digohweli}%


\setsansfont[Mapping=tex-text,

Scale=MatchLowercase]{Aboriginal Sans}%


\setmonofont[Mapping=tex-text,

Scale=1.0,
FakeBold=2]{Everson Mono}%
