FWIW, on one system I use frequently (a pretty standard Windows 7
machine), the last two blocks are not supported by any font. Likewise
on another system, an XP with a lot of additional fonts installed.
But if I install GNU Unifont, then Emacs does use it for these blocks.
So somehow we do TRT in some situations. Maybe these subranges are
just a filter?

I guess by "tool" you mean a technique or algorithm that uses the font
data for selecting the appropriate font? If so, no, I know very
little in this area, on Windows or elsewhere. Enumerating all the
glyphs would work, but is probably prohibitively expensive.
