The Mu computer now loads 140KB of Unicode glyphs from its system font
Unicode blocks now supported: latin, greek, cyrillic, armenian, hebrew, arabic, syriac, thaana, n'ko, indian (ISCII), sinhala, thai, lao, tibetan, myanmar, georgian (< U+1100)
Caveats:
- No support for combining characters yet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character) This makes the other languages I know (Hindi, Tamil) well-nigh useless.
- Unifont's glyphs for the non-Latin languages I know turn out to be quite spectacularly ugly.
