Firefox has a long list of known fonts stored in its database out of the box. We don't for 2 reasons: (1) we don't want to reference non-free fonts, and (2) we want to be able to support the use case of installing a font while the session runs. The above may or may not be relevant to the Egyptian Hieroglyphs case; volunteers are welcome to step through the font lookup process in Emacs in that case and see whether we should add something to our fontset-related databases. After all, this script is quite rare, and was added to Unicode at a relatively late date, so something might be amiss.
