First, y= ou omitted the OTF features we request for Tamil -- aren't
they needed for the Supplement block? if not, why not?

Tamil supplement does not need the akhn OTF feature because= it does not form any conjuncts, they are mostly accounting or agricultural= symbols.

Next, we should consider what the main supported platforms do wit= h
this block -- don't they come with other fonts configured for this
block? if they do, we should at least use 'append', not 'prepen= d'.

There does not seem to be any= font in MS windows which supports these characters.
I am not sur= e about MacOS.
but still I will use append.

And finally, is = the license of Noto Sans Tamil Supplement free enough
for us to include it in our sources?

= The Noto Sans Tamil Supplement font file is under the SIL Open Font License= v1.1
The Noto Color Emoji font is also under the same license an= d is referenced in the Emacs source code.
