I just released a free, open-source plugin for Glyphs that's designed to give type designers a high level overview of the world's writing systems and scripts, as well as some tools to tell you what your font supports, and add missing glyphs to support more languages.
My goal with this project is to make it easier to do things like:
- Increase language support when you're only missing one or two characters from some languages
- Explore other scripts and languages at an overview level by looking at what languages use a given script, and how many speakers each script and language has.
- And I have some ideas for future in the "Roadmap" section the repo's README, at the link below. A future version will include more assistance for the user in dealing with unencoded glyphs required by languages.
Any feedback, bug reports, or questions would be much appreciated! And thanks to Rosetta Type for publishing Hyperglot, the language database that powers TalkingLeaves.
