I was thinking to apply this after resolving inherited and common
scripts, so that it is not necessary to declare them explicitly with the
unicode-range descriptor. For example:
@font-face {
font-family: MyChineseFont;
src: local("AR PL KaitiM GB");
unicode-range: Han
}
<span style="font-family: MyChineseFont">foo "太好了!" bar</span>
In this case the punctuation around the Chinese text would use the
Chinese font, while the Latin text would fall back to another font.
This would seem to make it easier to support a script plus related
common characters, and additional Unicode ranges can also be specified
if a particular font requires it.
Best regards,
Michael
