For instance, U+1D400 belongs to `mathematical' script, so Emacs searches fonts supporting that script. And, xft font-backend uses `script-representative-chars' to do such searching. Ad the representative charcters of `mathematical' is U+1D400, xft font-backend searches fonts that support U+1D400. How does the font-backend for Windows searches fonts for a specific script? --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
