Re: [i18n-drafts] [questions/qa-what-is-encoding] Font and character sets (#523)

@xfq that is true, and following that user scenario and considering browsers assume that all fonts are Unicode fonts, it probably would be better to rewrite it simply as:

> A given font will cover a subset of Unicode characters.

Although considering most web fonts are subsetted anyway, its probably also true the font may not include all characters in a specific script, nor contain all the glyphs needed for all the languages written in that script. 

I know on government sites here it is common to see ransom note effects for community languages written in the Latin script, and there are likely only three, maybe four Latin script fonts available capable of near full support for the Latin script.
