These two suggestions or from stackoverflow thread
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7176276/what-is-script-name-symbol-means-for-emacs-set-fontset-font-function)
M-: (char-table-extra-slot char-script-table 0)
M-x list-character-sets
Long time ago, I was trying to assign font to tamil/indic scripts. I
was hoping that there would be a command like `describe-scripts' or some
such thing. I was disappointed.
May be there should be one.
