Comment:

 It is unrealistic for us to have as set of font with enough coverage to
 image all the scripts on that page: eastern fonts can be very large, and
 that page covers a large fraction of the scripts of the world.  Unless you
 want to fill flash and RAM with fonts, that is...

 If there are specific problems with specific scripts, we'd like to know
 about them.  Fonts don't come for free, in RAM or flash....

 It sounds like you have a specific complaint about an urdu font; we
 certainly need that packaged for OLPC.
