[HarfBuzz] Minority script support Re: Text Layout Summit at Desktop Summit?

[Shriramana Sharma]

Sorry to highjack the thread but a propos the note about Lanna, how
many minority scripts that are not supported by major OpenType
implementations are supported by HB? It is obviously easier for an
enthusiast of a minor script such as Ed and myself to contribute to
and get support for their script in a FOSS implementation.
