Consider adding more scripts to Darwin after almost everything has been finished. Possible scripts:

  1. Georgian, e.g. ყავისფერი მელა ზარმაცი ძაღლს გადაახტება.
  2. Thai, e.g. สุนัขจิ้งจอกสีน้ำตาลกระโดดข้ามสุนัขขี้เกียจ
  3. Hebrew, e.g. השועל החום קופץ מעל הכלב העצלן

With some mild amount of insanity:

  1. Devanagari, e.g. भूरी लोमड़ी आलसी कुत्ते के ऊपर से छलांग लगाती है।
  2. Bengali, e.g. মানব ও নাগরিক অধিকারের ইতিহাসের একটি মৌলিক পাঠ্য
  3. Arabic, e.g. أثناء الحرب العالمية الثانية اعتمد الحلفاء الحريات الأربعة: حرية التعبير، حرية التجمع، التحرر من الخوف، والتحرر من الحاجة.
  4. Coptic, e.g. ⲥⲟⲩⲙⲟⲥⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩϣⲏϣ ⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.

With great insanity:

  1. Japanese
  2. Chinese
  3. Korean

Historical scripts, as noted by Janus Bahs Jacquet:

In addition to these requirements, various others occasionally pop up, such as support for Mycenaean Greek, Linear A/B, various obscure manuscript ligatures, Tocharian (not yet encoded in Unicode), etc. However, these are so obscure that I would not expect a generally linguistics-oriented font to support them; there are specialist fonts for them.

Requested minority scripts:
11. Cham, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cham_script
12. Shavian, #50
13. Deseret, #53

Please consider adding Serbian scripts. Serbian latin should be low insanity:

  • Serbian latin e.g. Brza smeđa lisica je preskočila lenjog psa.
  • Serbian cyrillic e.g. Брза смеђа лисица је прескочила лењог пса.

Serbian support (both Latin and Cyrillic) will definitely be added :)
