[1] Does anyone know of a list of Unicode fonts that support specific scripts **and that one might expect users reading those scripts to have on their systems**? This would need to be by platform, eg. Windows, Linux, Unix, etc. The application for this is to get some ideas on how best to define font-family settings in CSS for a particular script so that you maximise the likelihood of people seeing the text in the script you choose, rather than defaulting to arial, helvetica, sans-serif or some such. (I assume there'll usually be some guesswork involved - although on the other hand, there are probably some fairly safe bets too, eg. Mangal is likely to be a safe bet for Devanagari for most Windows XP users.) [2] Wrt generic fallbacks, one possibility on Windows would be Arial Unicode MS, although not everyone will have that font. Are there other such generic fallbacks on other plaforms?
